In designing these three beachfront townhouses, our aim was to create a thoughtful and contemporary response to their dramatic coastal setting. The architecture draws from traditional seaside forms, reinterpreted through a modern lens. The design is characterised by a rhythmic series of simple, gable-ended volumes that face directly towards the sea — a gesture that echoes the historic rooflines of the adjacent Conservation Area while introducing a distinctive frontage along the Esplanade.
A central driver of the design has been the relationship with the remarkable seafront views. Each home is configured to take full advantage of this setting. The living areas open out onto generous, sea-facing terraces, enhancing the connection between the indoor and outdoor, and providing substantial amenity space.
Throughout, the architecture is defined by a refined material palette and crisp detailing — elements chosen to age gracefully and harmonise with the unique character of Sheringham. These homes are not only rooted in place; they are designed to elevate everyday living.
