To be at Montfort House is to be immersed in nature, a rare opportunity and a powerful experience where the elements that characterise the coast are on full display.
A dramatic entry begins at the foot of a grand staircase set between two large retaining walls, with the view gradually coming into frame on ascension. A large picture window at the top reveals the views that lie ahead, and as one moves into the main living space, a sweeping, intoxicating vista of sand dunes and coastal parklands awaits.
At its core, the design works as a viewing platform from which to observe and appreciate nature. On still days, the pavilion-like structure opens up to embrace the weather and the landscape. When the weather calls for staying indoors, the interior provides a warm sanctuary to witness the outside world.
