SALT COURT / SPATIAL STUDY

01—06

Between tide

and stillness.

Two pavilions hold a sheltered court. The shore remains present — in reflection, light and the rhythm of daily life.

01 / THE SITE

A COURTYARD BETWEEN WATER AND SKY.

02—03 / APPROACH & THRESHOLD

The tide moves.

The court holds.

A quiet approach along the shore. A pine, a sheltered court, and the first glimpse of life within.

SCROLL TO CROSS THE THRESHOLD

04—05 / INTERIOR STUDIES

Room for life.

Room for the tide.

Oak and pale stone soften the aluminium envelope. A reader, a kitchen, and the water beyond.

04 / LIVING

A QUIET AFTERNOON IN THE COURT.

One material language.

From the landscape outside
to the surfaces within.

05 / KITCHEN

LIGHT HELD ACROSS THE ISLAND.

06 / THE ENVELOPE

Salt on metal.

Warmth within.

Raw aluminium against black timber. Glass holds the boundary; warm oak belongs to the hand.

RAW ALUMINIUM / BLACK TIMBER / OAK

The smallest joint carries the whole idea.

The condition.
The response.

A shallow tidal shelf alternates between reflection and exposed stone. The site needs privacy without losing the unbroken relationship between water and horizon.

Two narrow volumes create a protected middle world. The court becomes a climatic room: reflective at high tide, mineral at low tide, and always open to the northern sky.
