Leigh-on-Sea. Coastal Outhouse.
What did we do?
A stunning outhouse overlooking the sea!
A modern intervention in a historic coastal location.
Brass Architecture designed and delivered a summerhouse in the grounds of a large residential property (Leigh-on-Sea, Essex), overlooking the historic coastal town of ‘Old Leigh’ and the seafront beyond.
Our design, a charred timber contemporary intervention contrasting with the traditional host residential building.
The outhouse contains lounge area, bar/kitchenette, WC, services zone, along with external log store.
Full external re-landscaping of the application site connects the outhouse with main home.
'Nestled in nature', a wildflower roof finish blends the structure with surrounds during the summer months.

A cosy, contextual installation, buried within the landscaped gardens, the structure allows our client the opportunity to enjoy the stunning views and tranquility of the site location.
A wildflower blanket roof finish, charred timber façade finish and thoughtful landscaping ensures the outhouse nestles perfectly in the site grounds.
The installation of the site was managed by our end client and completed over the summer months.
The internal use of the outhouse allows for guests to stay overnight or utilised for garden dining and/ or a TV snug zone.
