Mullally Architecture and Design

This project involved the extensive renovation and remodelling a detached seafront home overlooking Botany Bay in Broadstairs, Kent. We redesigned the property to bring new life to the building, maximising its relationship with the sea, improving internal flow, and updating its aesthetic in line with contemporary standards.

The scheme included a full reconfiguration of the ground and first floors, the addition of a second-floor master suite, and a series of sensitive extensions to the rear. The original plastic weatherboard cladding was replaced with crisp white render, complemented by white powder-coated aluminium windows and low-iron glass balustrading to provide a clean, coastal-inspired aesthetic.

Key interventions included:

• A new second floor with master suite, terrace and PV integration.
• Open-plan living, dining and kitchen zones with improved light and connection to the garden.
• Redesign of sunrooms and installation of Juliet and full balconies to enhance sea views.
• Thermal and energy upgrades, including the integration of solar panels.
• A re-landscaped driveway and improved entrance sequence for clearer access and parking.

Throughout the project, care was taken to respond sensitively to the local context, particularly the area's coastal setting and townscape character. The proposal respected neighbouring properties' outlook and privacy, while transforming the home into a modern and highly liveable seafront dwelling.
