Story
A house built to disagree with hurry.
Timber
Clad in weathered larch the colour of the dunes.
Limewash
Walls that take the light instead of bouncing it.
Wool and oak
Materials chosen because they age honestly.
Saltwood began with a piece of shore that nobody had thought to build on: too windy, too quiet, too far from anywhere with a queue. That was precisely the point.
The house is clad in timber weathered the colour of the dunes, with windows placed for light rather than drama. Inside, we chose materials that age honestly: limewash, pale oak, wool, stone. Nothing in the house is precious, and everything in it is considered.
We keep four rooms because five would need a system, and systems are what people come here to forget. One long table instead of a restaurant. A sauna instead of a spa menu. A shore instead of an itinerary.
That is the whole idea, and it doesn't need a founding myth: a small, warm, well-made house at the edge of the weather, run by people who answer their own email.
