The breathtaking Kent Beach House is one of my favorite structures by Simon Conder Associate.
It’s actually very hard to choose a favorite structure from this firm, because everything they complete is unique, sleek, and lovely. In fact, we’ve seen work from Simon Conder here at Offbeat before.
Read more about this house…
This “Non Plan” beach house is a two bedroom home on Dungeness Beach in Kent. The home is meant to respond to the drama of the landscape, and I’d say that it does. Kent house incorporates a 19th century railway carriage (that forms the focus of the central living area), and the great sloping deck creates an observation deck with 360 degree views of the land and sea. This is also a green passive solar home with additional wind turbine and cross ventilation. I could see myself living here for a good long while – so peaceful; can you imagine?
Visit the Kent beach house page to view additional pictures (seriously check out the sloped deck – it’s amazing) and to learn more. If you’re in the mood for even more amazing structures you can browse the entire Simon Conder Associate website.

“Non Plan” beach house is a pile of junk. I didn’t want to say… but come on! Look at it. It nothing more than a pile of wood.
Hmmm, well I like it a lot. Even if you don’t like it, I think that “pile of wood” is a tad extreme. It’s 100 times better than all the lame cookie cutter McMansions around – which are indeed, simply HUGE piles of wood.
PS BTW thanks for stopping by though, and even if you hate something, it’s good to say so. No need to say, “I didn’t want to say…” opinions are always welcome.
