Sea, Sky House, A Contemporary sustainable Home in Whitstable, Kent
Sea, Sky House is a RIBA award winning home on the Kent coast.
architecturally precise, quietly unconventional, and full of the kind of considered detail that makes a location feel genuinely inhabited rather than staged.
Inverted in plan, with living spaces raised to catch the horizon and interiors layered with salvaged materials and industrial interventions, it photographs differently at every hour of the day.
IInformation
Sea, Sky House sits at the eastern end of a small cluster of architect designed homes on the Kent coast, its orientation quietly deliberate: framing long sea views to the north, holding a composed, near windowless face to the street. The pale timber boarding, corrugated cement roof and galvanised steel gutters give it a soft, cloud like presence against the shoreline, understated from the outside, expansive within.
The plan is inverted. Bedrooms occupy the ground floor, arranged along a linear corridor that runs from a panelled entrance and boot room to a principal suite at the far end, with a dressing room, en suite and views across the wild flower garden towards the coast. Two further bedrooms open onto planted courtyards; a guest room incorporates a custom bunk arrangement. Utility room, shower room and bathroom complete the lower level.
The first floor is a single, generous volume beneath a pitched roof, with exposed steel structure, polished concrete floors and light entering from multiple directions. The kitchen, industrial in character, anchored by a large stone island, sits at the centre. A full width sliding window draws the horizon into the room; oversized roof lights shift the quality of light through the day. The roof terrace is set deliberately below the main floor level, preserving the sight line to sea while creating a sheltered outdoor space, with steps leading down to the garden. A mezzanine above holds an office and snug. A study with acoustically separated zoom room sits off the kitchen.
The interiors have a layered, assembled quality: ornate salvaged doors alongside polished concrete, an enormous airport light fitting over the dining table, stone copings repurposed as a hearth surround. Reclaimed materials are used throughout, selected over time, before construction began, giving the house a character that feels inhabited rather than finished.
Sustainability is integral: MVHR, photovoltaics, air source heat pump, underfloor heating and high-spec insulation throughout. The house holds an EPC A rating.
Winner of a 2025 RIBA South East Award.
Why we recommend this property
Few locations offer this level of architectural intention alongside genuine visual variety. The inverted plan means the main living space, exposed steel, polished concrete, full-width sliding glass, sits elevated with uninterrupted sea views, while the ground floor offers a quieter, more intimate register: planted courtyards, panelled corridors, a custom bunk room. That range, within a single property, is rare.
The interiors reward close attention. Ornate salvaged doors, an airport light fitting above the dining table, stone copings repurposed as a hearth surround, these are not styling choices but materials with history, selected before construction began. The result is a house that reads as lived-in and layered rather than dressed for camera, which is precisely what makes it so useful on set.
At Location Lab, we look for properties that give a production something to work with beyond the obvious hero shot. Sea, Sky House does that at every turn, from the roof terrace, set below floor level to hold the sight line to sea, to the acoustically separated zoom room off the kitchen. A RIBA South East Award winner, and one of the most considered homes on our books.

Two Collaborations
Two Perspectives on Space
At Location Lab, we curate spaces that go beyond the brief, they shape the creative process.
LA is a collection of narrative-led homes, bold in form, immersive in atmosphere, rooted in design.
S&S offers adaptable locations — raw, functional, built for purpose.
Two strands, one aim: to elevate both concept and execution.
LA Collection
Architectural homes reimagined for modern production
A collection of architect-designed homes that set the tone — expressive, precise, and cinematic by nature.
Thoughtfully composed for filming, photography, and editorial work, these are spaces where architecture plays a lead role.
S&S Collection
Design-led spaces that adapt to purpose
Versatile spaces with clarity and edge — built for flexibility without compromising on design.
Ideal for fashion shows, brand activations, exhibitions and shoots, these locations combine scale, utility and a distinct architectural presence.
