This luxury coastal renovation in Oreston celebrates the rich history of a former seaside pub, thoughtfully reimagined into a modern family home. With industrial accents, reclaimed timbers, and open-plan living, the design pays homage to the property’s unique heritage while creating a warm, functional space for today.

A Home Steeped in History

Once a bustling pub by the water, barrels of beer were floated under the road to its basement. The building itself was constructed from old ship timbers, and during the renovation, we carefully reclaimed pieces to weave the past into the present.

The Kitchen – Where History Meets Design

The kitchen island is topped with a reclaimed beam discovered during works, carved with the word Armada, a striking feature that anchors the space. Modern cabinetry, industrial pendant lighting, and warm wood finishes bring both function and atmosphere, while maintaining the property’s original character.

Clever Zoning for Open-Plan Living

The home’s open-plan layout has been thoughtfully zoned to create intentional areas for cooking, dining, and relaxing. A crittall-style partition to the staircase adds a striking architectural detail, bringing natural light into the heart of the home while acting as a sculptural feature in its own right.

Industrial Coastal Style

With leather textures, reclaimed timber, and dark cabinetry balanced by natural light and coastal tones, the interiors blend luxury modern living with industrial character. Every detail — from lighting to bespoke carpentry — enhances the connection between the property’s history and its contemporary life.
