E200
Full refurbishment and reconfiguration of a flat in a beachside Grade II listed block. The kitchen was relocated to the east to enjoy views along the waterfront and morning light, swapping places with bathrooms. The west-facing living room has incredible summer sunsets. The block was originally terraced houses, but in c. 1870s became various hotels and the internal layout was totally changed, with a corridor punched down the middle and a number of original front doors turned into windows. As a result the flats in the building all have very unusual layouts, with no two flats the same.
