The 1,470sq m site sits high on a cliff and provides uninterrupted views over the sea. There is a house already on the site, the demolition of which has been permitted.
The house proposed by Greenfield is designed to make the most of the unique site. A triangular shape allows for views from as many rooms in the house as possible. Greenfield is a London-based architect who often works in the West Country. A Stirling Prize finalist, and the recipient of numerous RIBA awards, Greenfield is an architect with a growing reputation. Known for both the bold forms of his buildings and his attention to detail in use of materials, he is a well-chosen architect for such a striking site.
The site can be found close to the village of Berrynarbor, along the coast from Ilfracombe. Ilfracombe is an attractive harbour town with a good range of independent shops and restaurants (including The Quay, owned by Damien Hirst).
