seeking to reinvent and reinterpret the vernacular architecture of england's seaside, is 'dune house', 
a holiday home south of thorpeness, suffolk by norwegian practice JVA in collaboration with mole architecture.
positioned among the rolling dunes at the very edge of the sea, the structure aims to develop a new vocabulary, 
merging both regional and contemporary aesthetics. 

an abstracted english gable roof appears to hover above the grassy earth, adding a sense of sculpture and movement
to the otherwise linear form. clad in a lightly tinted orange steel alloy, the roof reflects the changing colors of the sky
and sea, allowing the bold volume to merge with its surrounding environment.
