coastal conditions demand smarter design
“We start by understanding the site as a character in its own right,” Henwood says. “The orientation, the topography, the way the light moves—these all inform the design. We want each residence to feel like it has grown naturally from its landscape.”
For Henwood, architecture is never just about form. His focus is on creating spaces that feel intuitive and personal. “A new build is an opportunity to craft a home that fits seamlessly into our clients’ lives,” he explains. “We think about how they move through their day, how they entertain, how they find moments of calm. The design has to support those rhythms.”
While the design ambition is high, the process itself is reassuringly straightforward. By working closely with Bare Construction, Henwood ensures each project flows seamlessly from concept to completion. “We guide clients through every step,” he notes. “What can seem daunting at first becomes an enjoyable and transparent journey.”
