This Devonshire home is a masterclass in minimalism. Designed by the owner, the property appears to tumble down towards the yacht-dotted Salcombe Estuary below. The overall effect is like a giant jigsaw puzzle; each object in the building slots into a harmonious whole.

Longframe 439 chairs
Twentytwentyone
2/8 Seating area with estuary view
Everything in the house has been fashioned for seaside dwelling and to make the most of the views. The open-plan top floor, for example, has a lower level with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across a glass-railed balcony.

3/8 Open-plan living area
Open-plan spaces with vaulted windows create a sense of light and serenity. The owner designed every detail of the property, including the display niches and inset fireplace in the sitting, dining and kitchen areas.

4/8 Cooking zone
Functional elements such as the plug sockets have, wherever possible, been concealed in order to draw the eye to more aestetically pleasing features, such as the abstract artworks on the wall.
Iuta swivel armchairs

5/8 Kitchen-diner
Colour is deployed strategically throughout the house. The red chairs in the dining area stand out against the gunmetal grey of the kitchen units like poppies in a Monet landscape.
Kitchen
Bulthaup at Kitchen Architecture
6/8 Kitchen breakfast bar
In the kitchen, sleek cupboards and island units hide all but the essential cookware from view. 'There is nothing evolutionary about my style,' says the owner. 'When I design a room, I'll choose the exact sofa or table to fit.'
