Located off Westbrook Road, the Margate Beach Houses sit between the promenade and the former listed Royal Seabathing Hospital site, which first opened in 1796. In it’s prominent location next to the sea the site initially benefited sick children from east London with Margate's fresh sea air and healing properties of the sea's salt water. With this in mind it seemed appropriate to take advantage of the coastline's full exposure and draw a particular design taking inspiration from the existing beach huts found along the promenade.
In creating a modern reinterpretation of the classic English 'beach hut' the starting point was to design high quality contemporary homes that embody a sense of fun in their practicality and to create spaces where great memories are made and passed down from generation to generation - as all good beach homes should be.The Beach Houses fall within the curtilage of the listed Royal Seabathing Hospital site and are visible from the main development.
