Unusual accommodation in England

Practical information
A modern version of fishermen's huts on an English beach.
For its second vacation residence, Living Architecture takes you to the seaside.
It is the NORD office that is responsible for this creation in Dungeness, south of London. Between Folkestone and Hastings, between lighthouses and the terminus of a coastal steam train.
This large pebble beach dotted with hardy plants in bright colors is a rugged and poetic landscape. In reference to the tiny wooden fishermen's huts - often owned by artists - the young Scottish architecture firm created a contemporary structure that retains both the colors and lines of the environment.
The three simple cabins are unified by black bitumen cladding. Gray concrete, white wood, touches of lime green or poppy red, a purple floor for the interior. In the beautiful seasons, the glass doors of the kitchen, bedroom, or dining room can be opened; the sun is precious, the sea within reach so soothing.
The largest of the cabins houses the bedrooms (including one on the 1st floor) and the living room. Between the kitchen and the dining room, grouped in the third cabin, one of the house's three bathrooms is a cabin in itself. These three interconnected spaces provide all the comfort for 8 people and changing views of the pebble beach of Dungeness, designated as a nature reserve.
