# Secluded Weathered Cabins This Home on Dungeness Beach is the Perfect Getaway By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-07-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-on-dungeness-beach References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/07/28/pobble-house-dungeness-guy-hollaway/) & [guyhollaway](http://www.guyhollaway.co.uk/) British architect Guy Hollaway designed the 'Pobble House,' a home on Dungeness beach, Britain's only classified desert. The home's title comes from the Kentish word for "pebble." Hollaway clad the [remote holiday home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daria-sheina) in steel mesh, larch and cement fiberboard. The materials were chosen, in part, to correspond to the home's setting. Hollaway explains, "The building is extremely durable, an important aspect considering the [harsh climate and exposed setting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hytte-riverview). The exposure will cause the larch and Corten to weather silver and red respectively –- an echo to the natural landscape." The architect raised the building's base by half a meter, in order to keep its impact on the shingle minimal. This move allows for a [private deck, perfect for outdoor dining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hors), on the southern end of the home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Secluded Getaways:** Create unique, remote accommodations in beautiful natural settings for those seeking tranquility and privacy. - **Weathered Architecture:** Use durable materials and design techniques that naturally blend with the surrounding environment and weather over time. - **Elevated Foundations:** Raise buildings above ground level to minimize environmental impact while creating space for outdoor amenities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Offer secluded vacation rentals that provide a peaceful and immersive experience in natural settings. - **Architecture:** Design eco-friendly structures that harmonize with the surrounding landscape and use weathered materials. - **Outdoor Living:** Create elevated living spaces that offer private outdoor areas for dining, relaxation, and breathtaking views. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Local Stone-Clad Coastal Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caochan-na-creige.md) - [Coastal Timber Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornwall-retreat.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Blackened Timber Tranquil Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hideaway-house.md) - [Coastal Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasparakisfriel.md) - [Weatherized Visual Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hundred-acre-wood.md) - [Relaxing Wooden Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatherhill-beach-house.md) - [Minimal Bird-Watching Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hide-cabin.md) - [Cedar-Clad L-Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ospreys-landing.md)
