New Build at Windsong, Rustington, West Sussex

This remarkable seafront property in Rustington is a stunning example of how classic Cape Cod charm can be reimagined through a contemporary lens. Thoughtfully designed with cement board cladding and inspired by the timeless character of Cape Cod architecture, the home blends traditional elegance with modern coastal living.

01. The Brief

The vision for this project was to create a one-of-a-kind beachfront residence that embraced the serenity of seaside living while incorporating the enduring appeal of Cape Cod design. Our client sought a home that stood apart from others, combining timeless architectural character with contemporary design to reflect both sophistication and coastal charm.

We were tasked with ensuring that every aspect of the design paid homage to the classic features of Cape Cod homes, while also meeting the practical needs of modern living. The end goal was to produce a home that felt both refined and relaxed, suitable for its unique seafront location.

02. Challenges & Considerations

One of the key challenges was to maintain the essence of Cape Cod architecture without compromising on contemporary design elements. Attention to detail was critical throughout. We had to consider not just aesthetics, but also the durability and sustainability of the materials, particularly given the home’s coastal setting.

The use of cement board cladding was a deliberate choice to enhance both visual appeal and long-term resilience. Additionally, it was essential to navigate the various stages of planning permission and building regulation compliance. As with all our projects, we ensured that the design was both functional and visually striking, while also meeting all necessary regulations.

03. The Outcome

The finished home is an extraordinary beachfront property that perfectly captures the charm of traditional Cape Cod style with the sophistication of modern design. It offers a tranquil, coastal living experience in a space that feels bespoke and thoughtfully crafted.

We’re proud to have delivered a home that doesn’t just meet expectations, but exceeds them—one that embraces timeless architectural elements while also pushing forward with innovative ideas. From the detailing in the exterior finishes to the carefully planned interior layout, every element was designed with purpose.

Beyond the success of this individual project, it also reflects our broader approach to architectural design. We offer a complete service, from drawing house plans tailored to your requirements, through to detailed design drawings and managing the full planning and regulations process.
