Markham Avenue
The site is on the cliff tops at Whitburn, boasting unrivalled views down the north-east coast of England.
Project Overview
The site is on the cliff tops at Whitburn, boasting unrivalled views down the north-east coast of England. This bespoke executive home was configured to exploit these views. Our scope of works included the external works / drainage design as well as the structural design of the steel frame / masonry infill detached dwelling.
Living accommodation on the ground floor includes an ensuite double bedroom and a kitchen-living-dining room with dual aspect onto the south facing garden. All non-habitable rooms are located on the north facing elevation.
The entrance is accentuated between one of three peaked gables, rotated radially to give a different sea view from each room. From the entrance hall the stair rises and turns to face the sea. This glazed flat roof space allows access to the master bedroom and also the hallway to the other bedrooms and lounge. The journey along the hallway gives a glimpse through the lounge to the sea beyond and a covered roof terrace exploits these views.
