The location of this new Scandia-Hus home in Alderney benefits from a beautiful aspect of the coastline, with a Victorian breakwater and harbour jutting into the English Channel, so it was key to factor this into its design.

An ‘upside down’ layout, with living accommodation on the first floor and sleeping accommodation below, enables the views to be exploited.

The first floor is devoted to one large open plan living, dining, and kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows. The expanse of glass floods the upstairs room with light and captures the glorious coastal vistas.
