Shingle House by NORD Architecture

The Shingle House by NORD Architecture is a vacation home located in Dungeness, Kent in Britain with a black shingle exterior and white wood panel interior.

It is part of the Living Architecture project which is a “scheme initiated by writer Alain de Botton to create a series of vacation homes in picturesque locations, designed by prominent architects.”

The glazed concertina doors in the living room open up to the interior spaces to the beach. The entire beach is classified as a nature reserve and is filled with unusual flora and is considered a haven for birdlife.

We love the white panelled walls which create a cosier feel in the modern space.

Small rectangle windows like this are perfect for a view of the landscape and are also great for privacy.

The bedroom also opens to the outdoors, how nice would that be?

The bathroom is also beautiful, combining more traditional elements (the bathtub and faucets) with modern lines.
