WINDYRIDGE

A contemporary family house in Northumberland with spectacular sea views and woodland backdrop, replacing a 1930’s coastal dwelling.

The starting point of the design was to create an energy efficient house that optimises solar gain and views, is at-one with the site and topography, respects the local vernacular and is respectful of its 1930’s predecessor.

The house has been designed to maximise the uninterrupted views towards Holy Island and protect the east facing garden from the prevailing winds.

The design references the historic lighthouses and fortified castles along the North-East coastline.

A look-out and observatory are located at roof level to enjoy the fantastic vistas.
