Saltmarsh House achieves pocket-watch levels of precision and attention to detail, alongside Passivhaus standards of environmental performance, to create a building which is truly breathtaking. 

Located on the Isle of Wight, with uninterrupted views across Bembridge Harbour, this house is a stunning example of modern architectural design. Conceived as a delicate steel-frame pavilion, it takes reference from the repeating pitched-roofed glasshouses that once graced the kitchen gardens of the Grade II-listed Victorian house, in the grounds of which the project sits.
