This glass and steel structured building, which overlooks Poole Harbour in Dorset, draws inspiration from its seaside surroundings, with huge windows and large open-plan spaces.
1/8 Exterior
2/8 Living room
The pale ash floor used in the living room mimics that of yacht decking. A mix of transparent and white furniture creates a light, modern look.
Find folding chairs like these at John Lewis, and visit BoConcept for similar storage units.
3/8 Kitchen
The sense of space has been maximised in this narrow kitchen with the use of glossy white units. The unframed floor-to-ceiling window makes the room feel like it is part of the garden outside.
The kitchen units were from Tisettanta, and you can find marble worktops at Stone Age.
4/8 Kitchen-diner
In the dining room and kitchen area, a hatch running the length of both rooms, brings the spaces together. The transparent table and chairs continue the ultra-modern feel and complements the white scheme.
Habitat have a similar table and dining chairs.
5/8 Hallway staircase
The wooden staircase is both sleek and simple. Enclosed by white walls, it allows the open-plan space to be as light an airy as possible.
6/8 Upstairs hallway
Floor-to-ceiling windows gives a panoramic view of the garden. The white model of a boat, which fits in perfectly with the neutral scheme, is a stunning focal point.
7/8 Bedroom
The bedroom is a tranquil haven of white. All four bedrooms in this modern home are identical, and have an individual view through trees across the water. White glossy floor-to-ceiling wardrobes maximise storage potential.
The wardrobes with sliding doors were from Tisettanta.
8/8 Bathroom
The wall panels in this bathroom are acrylic rather than tiles for a clean, streamlined feel, a look that is repeated in all of the four ensuite bathrooms.
Visit SL Hardwoods for similar acrylic panels.
