Sea Edge House / KAST Architects
Balanced high on a cliff in south Cornwall, Sea Edge House offers an uninterrupted panorama of the horizon, picking up Rame Head to the east, and Looe and St George’s Island to the west.

Nestled into the tree tops at the head of a creek, Sylvania House leans out from the hillside to make the most of views towards the Fal Ria.
The design draws on the history and materials of traditional Cornish fishing villages, with their ribbons of steep lanes dipping down to the sea. Entering from the lane, a stone wall breaks to form an unassuming main entrance. Circulation spaces meander between the volumes leading down to the kitchen and living areas.
