I wanted all residents to have a view of Carbis Bay in spite of a building in front being in the way. To achieve this I stacked three of the apartments on top of each other, fitted these with a pitched roof.

I positioned four of those houses in such a way that the sea view even reaches back into one of the bedrooms in each apartment.

Each two of these houses were connected by a staircase shaped in a way that provides it with daylight and views to the surrounding.
