Internally, the house has a muted
decorative scheme with exposed concrete
ceilings complemented by a floor of
whitewashed Douglas fir planks and fitted
joinery made with lacquered birch faced
plywood. Studio and office rooms occupy
the left side of the ground floor layout,
mirrored on the right of the rear reception
room by an open plan kitchen area defined
by a parallel wooden dining surface in
walnut with expressed dovetail joints. The
reception room opens out onto a red brick
terrace and garden through a series of
glazed sliding doors, mirrored on the upper
storey where corresponding doors on the
master bedroom and en-suite bathroom
open out onto a covered terrace sheltered
by the oak clad roof that gives spectacular
views of the Orford Ness marshes and the
Suffolk coast.
