It is tempting to fill a coastal house with glass. But more glazing is not more light — it is often just more glare, and less calm.
We prefer fewer, better openings: a tall slot that tracks the sun, a low window framing the shoreline, a rooflight that washes a wall. Each is placed for a reason.
Discipline gives light somewhere to land. A room with one perfect window will always feel richer than a room that is merely bright.

Designing for the path of the sun
Every MANOR plan begins not with walls, but with the daily arc of light across the site.

Why we build in stone
Stone is patient. On an exposed coast, that patience is everything.

A house on the headland
What it means to build at the very edge of the land, where the view is also the weather.
