AMAZING to see ‘North Sea East Wood’ in the @ribajournal in print and web formats. 👌

“Hayhurst & Co’s Norfolk bungalow revamp has star quality…

Architect Nick Hayhurst’s North Sea East Wood transforms a 1980s bungalow in Cromer by opening up the floorplan and adding an extension with a ‘hobbit-like elevation’ “

Thank you John Jervis @swynfen for taking the trip up to Cromer and for such a lovely write-up!

My favourite paragraph reads;

“Wrapped around one wing of the original building, this new addition has a distinct character bestowed by a tightly packed flint dressing, without the usual brick quoins. Two large picture windows give glimpses into – and through – the structure, while an angled chimney stack rises above, undercutting the modernity of the plate glass. For those with a Tolkien-free childhood, a crofter’s cottage might be a more telling comparison. “
