This striking architectural home showcases a bold, modern design with strong gable forms and a seamless blend of natural and industrial materials. The exterior features sleek black plaster cladding contrasted with stone chimney pillars and Abodo cladding details that add warmth and texture. Large gabled windows flood the interior with natural light and frame rural views, creating a sense of openness and connection to the landscape. With multiple wings connected by a central living space, the layout offers both privacy and flow—ideal for family living or entertaining. The landscaping is yet to be completed, giving a clear view of the home’s foundations and structure. Every element of this build reflects precision, quality, and the attention to detail that defines Mayhem Construction’s approach.

Great textures and details found all over the home, changing at night to a beautifully lit and inviting space

We had worked with the client, a self builder on speculative development projects in the past. When the chance arose to help him create a new home for his own family overlooking Poole Harbour we were delighted to help. The house uses a contemporary language under a deep traditional roof which allowed us to gain permission for a modern, 4 bedroom, 2 storey home on a site surrounded by bungalows. The generosity of glazing floods the accommodation with light and allows superb views into the harbour. Efficient and intelligent use of all the space available allowed us to transform a tight bungalow on a cramped, sloping plot into a spacious house with beautiful roomy gardens.
