We also sought to have the building correspond in material to the nearby coast (3km away) and thus looked for a concrete, bright in color referring to the sandy beaches. In addition, concrete was an apt material to build the 4 storey volume plus basement. This led us to the use of Portland cement, quarried on the Dorset coast on the other side of the English Channel. The finished surface of the concrete was formed by horizontally placed wooden plank shuttering. The same language was repeated in the vertically placed, blackened wooden planks that finish the walls and carpentry. The black-and-white stained carpentry directly references the local vernacular.Bookmark this picture!
