The Dune House lies just south of the picturesque village of Thorpeness, in Suffolk, on an idyllic spot at the very edge of the sea, nestled among rolling dunes. You can walk out from the living room directly onto the beach and enjoy extraordinary panoramic views over the sea from the terraces, bedrooms and bathrooms on the upper floor.
Living Architecture invited one of Norway’s most renowned practitioners, Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects, to create a house on this archetypal English seaside site. JVA, as they are known, made their name building a series of accomplished houses in Oslo and its outskirts and intimately understood the need to balance the advantages of modernity with the traditional virtues of warmth and comfort.
