Kevin McCloud meets Julie and Mark Veysey, whose Grand Design is a stunning Miami-style beach house on a beachfront plot overlooking the south Devon coast.
Julie and Mark have had several holidays in Miami, and Julie wanted to recreate the outdoor beachfront lifestyle back in England, living in a house full of light and sun, within easy reach of the waves.
The house is very much Julie's vision and she is passionate about the design. It is a series of dazzling white interlocking boxes topped with a flat zinc roof.
Dramatic double-height windows to the front and rear of the house flood it with sunshine. While the main open-plan living area is upstairs and boasts a circular kitchen, a fireplace suspended in the middle of the room and a huge curved deck extending out towards the sea. A footbridge leads off the living area to the master bedroom, with an en-suite complete with bath overlooking the sea.
