The FT’s Helen Barrett discovers some striking examples of modern architecture, designed to reflect the bleak yet vibrant landscape that surrounds them.

These people are turning a unique and special place into a a weekend, second home community for the wealthy. People from Dungeness can no longer afford to live there. It's being ruined by all these designer houses.
