C3 Dwelling HousesA new two bedroomed family house, this scheme develops the local tradition of improvisation and experimentation. The new house incorporates a 19th century railway carriage that formed the basis of the original, smaller house. With a sense of fun and quirkiness, this scheme is a gem of an architectural solution. Clever and unusual, this is a good example of an eccentric seaside building, which is particularly fitting in its Dungeness Beach location.
