Wincer Kievenaar have designed 5 new dwellings for Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club. ‘Balfour Place’ is situated on Cliff Road in Felixstowe adjacent to the proposed new Clubhouse.
Set adjacent the dramatic golf course and Suffolk coast line, each home is uniquely designed to showcase a palette of high quality traditional materials, however the nautical design is truly contemporary. The developed mix of colours is carefully chosen to create an interesting harmony with the sand dunes and shingles ridges of the AONB.
A sweeping wave of angled roofs unites the development and their forms provide a distinctive new environment. Spacious interiors filled with natural light provide great flexibility and the opportunity for individual replanning. Generous ceiling heights with sea views extend out to protected balconies, and crow’s nest second floors will surprise and delight. The detailing is robust for its context, and sustainability integral to the home’s concept in their orientation, thermal mass and construction technology.
The properties Darwin House, Fernie Lodge, Tomline View, Elcho House and Cobbold Villa are being marketed by Fenn Wright.
Blue Cube Studios have created the following videos showing the exterior and an internal tour of Darwin House.
