Harbour View
New Builds, Planning in Sandbanks, Dorset, completed in 2026. Designed by Landmark Design.
Overview
A stepped, flat-roofed house cut into a sloping hillside, so that each level opens directly onto a garden terrace rather than looking down on one. Warm-toned stone walls carry the building through the slope, with deep thin-edged roof overhangs and cedar soffits shading full-height glazing. Stone retaining walls run out into the landscape to form tiered terraces of ornamental grasses, shrubs and small trees, linked by a formal stone stair, with a fire pit and seating set into the middle level. Inside, a stone chimney breast holds a linear fireplace in the main living room, where the timber ceiling continues out over the covered terrace towards the water and the setting sun.
