You can walk out from the living room directly onto the beach and enjoy extraordinary panoramic views over the sea from the terraces, bedrooms and bathrooms on the upper floor.  Sleeps nine…The Dune House is the product of creative thinking and work by Norway’s JVA,  Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects.

…The Balancing Barn stands on the edge of a tranquil nature reserve a few miles inland from the Suffolk coast, near the historic towns of Walberswick and Aldeburgh.  Clad in elegant silver tiles, the house dramatically cantilevers over the landscape, providing views from its huge panoramic windows over woods, ponds and meadows. The house was designed by the Dutch firm MVRDV, who have won a world-wide reputation for the ingenuity, playfulness and comfort of their designs.  Sleeps eight people…

…Have you made your decision?  I’m still pondering…

…and then a comforting reminder that spring will be here soon enough…
