Tidal Stack House

This conceptual scheme explores stacked modular volumes arranged to minimise ground disturbance while engaging directly with a coastal wetland setting. A raised timber platform establishes a clear datum above the waterline, supporting prefabricated container-based forms configured for passive cooling and framed views. Deep balconies and recessed glazing moderate heat gain while extending living space outward. Material choices prioritise durability, adaptability, and clarity of construction logic.
