POBBLE HOUSE, DUNGENESS GUY HOLLAWAY ARCHITECTS

摘要

Pobble House takes its name from an old Kentish word for pebble and is located within the Dungeness Estate, a stark, open headland on the Kent and Sussex coast that is home to Europe's largest expanse of shingle, classifying it as Britain's only desert. To reduce the building's impact on the natural shingle, it sits on a series of pad foundations, which elevate it off the beach by half a metre. The timber-frame construction is sealed by a rubber waterproofing layer that acts as a whole-house gutter, allowing the rain to fall through the batten over-cladding and down the building.
