This project refurbishes an early 20th-century timber-framed beach house on the Ballard Estate in Swanage, Dorset. The design preserves and repairs the existing timber structure while updating internal layouts and building services to meet contemporary living standards. The house occupies a seafront position, requiring careful attention to coastal exposure, weatherproofing, and long-term durability. The site lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, imposing landscape and planning sensitivities that guide material choices and external appearance. Conservation of character and enhancement of functionality are balanced to retain historic qualities while improving comfort and resilience against coastal conditions.
