A contemporary showpiece home with panoramic views of Chichester Channel
The dream
To create a modern home on the water’s edge for this sea-loving family.
The details
We love the swim through indoor outdoor pool and the million-dollar views from almost all vantage points.
Dedicated with the most extraordinary view in mind
Perched above Chichester Channel, this new build contemporary home in Birdham is a real showstopper whose forms and materials take design cues from the semi-rural location and the traditional West Sussex vernacular. We designed and planned the building around the path of the sun to take full advantage of natural daylight throughout the day in all areas of the house.
The home is super insulated, uses a fabric first approach to environmental design, and employs active eco-technologies. There is a winter lounge that opens onto the extended poolside terrace, and the living accommodation and master suite are arranged to take advantages of the breath-taking 180 degree views up and down the channel. This is an exceptional home where the exterior stone and blackened timber cladding blend beautifully with the local landscape.

“Our challenging brief for this fantastic site was to design a house that maximised views to the north while tracking the path of the sun to the south. The result is a beautiful home with distinctive interaction of one and two storey volumes, accentuated in contrasting flint and timber.”
