BEACH HOUSE

Contemporary home on the Fife shoreline

This project transforms a historic but neglected B-Listed house on the beautiful shoreline of the Conservation village of Elie, Fife into a remarkable contemporary home. The original building is a quintessential example of coastal East Neuk architecture, and enjoys an amazing south-facing private courtyard leading directly onto the sands of Elie Beach. A series of interventions improve the quality of space, light, movement and views internally and externally. Two complimentary extensions create new kitchen, dining and living areas that reclaim wasted external space, provide seamless connections to the seaward courtyard, and take full advantage of the sea views.
