The house dates from the 1950s and, while
the building itself is not so special, it backs on to Camber Sands. “It was just a set of boxy rooms and two garages,” says Sutherland, a stylist. “We wanted to join up the spaces and integrate the garages into the house.” The pair rebuilt the interior from scratch. Walls are made from OSB, a type of chipboard, and plaster-like dark grey Artex. “It creates a
tadelakt-style finish with a nice chalky texture,” says Sutherland. The flooring is grey poured concrete.
Technology was integrated from the start, but it isn’t the main focus: fittingly, for this beachside house, it is all about helping its owners to switch off.
