Translucent Yachtsman Abodes

The Manser Practice Has Designed a Vacation Home in a Fishing Village

— May 15, 2014 — Art & Design
London studio The Manser Practice designed a weekend retreat for a yachtsman and his family, located on a fishing village off of England's south coast. The home opens out towards the shoreline on the Isle of Wight.

Considering their client's needs, the architects made sure that it was possible for the home owners to mosey outside and directly catch the morning tide. They also installed a wet room for the purpose of storing coats and boots, as well as providing easy access to the boats outside.

To create the glowing exterior of this two-storey house, the architects installed translucent, glazed walls. The house also features a translucent atrium, which divides the house into two separate wings. A hardwood staircase is located in its center. Finally, the home features an open-space kitchen and living area, as well as a wall of sliding doors that lead to a slate terrace and swimming pool.
Trend Themes
1. Translucent Homes - Opportunity for architects and designers to explore the use of translucent materials in residential architecture, creating unique and visually stunning living spaces.
2. Seaside Retreats - Potential for the development of vacation homes in coastal areas, catering to yachtsmen and families looking for a relaxing getaway by the sea.
3. Sustainable Design - Opportunity to incorporate sustainable features and energy-efficient technologies into the design of vacation homes, reducing their environmental impact.
Industry Implications

2. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can tap into the demand for exclusive seaside retreats, offering luxurious accommodations and amenities for yachtsmen and vacationers.
3. Construction - Construction companies can specialize in the construction of translucent homes with sustainable features, providing unique and eco-friendly living options for clients.
