The Gower, South West Wales: Sky-Frame

Perched on a limestone cliff where the Bristol Channel meets the Atlantic, this home offers an unparalleled connection to the sea and sky. Expansive Sky-Frame floor-to-ceiling glass doors blur the boundary between indoors and out, immersing its residents in the ever-changing light and coastal atmosphere. With open-plan living on the first floor, the design embraces its dramatic setting—wind-swept hawthorn and crisp bracken speak of a landscape shaped by passing storms. Deep overhangs, cantilevered balconies, and screening elements provide shelter from the elements, ensuring comfort in all weather conditions. This seamless relationship with nature is reinforced through a carefully curated material palette—enduring cedar softens transitions between spaces, creating a sense of warmth, calm, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
