House in Orlock

House in Orlock

Quietly contemporary architecture shaped by place and light

Set on a tight site overlooking the Copeland Islands and the Irish Sea, this home makes the most of every inch of space while opening up to truly spectacular coastal views.

Behind its modest exterior, the house reveals a generous volume in the main kitchen, living, and dining space, where light, height, and views come together to create a calm and uplifting interior.

The architecture carefully balances robust materials and fine detailing — a rich mix of Iroko timber and brick gives texture and warmth to the façade, while subtle brick detailing around windows and gables adds depth and craftsmanship.

Outside, a covered terrace and glazed screens create a place to sit sheltered from the wind — somewhere to watch the sea in all seasons. Even on the most blustery days, the connection to the landscape is constant.

The result is a refined and efficient home, quietly contemporary yet rooted in its coastal setting, designed to feel both grounded in place and open to the sea.
