  • Today Architectural Digest travels to the Isle of Wight on England’s south coast to tour Saltmarsh House, a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) House of the Year 2023 shortlisted project. Sitting on the edge of a vast tidal marsh, this stunning pavilion home, designed by architect Níall McLaughlin, floats above the ground on a lightweight steel frame. Truly ingenious is the property’s structure, which was prefabricated off-site and lifted into place to minimize disruption to the surrounding nature reserve. Offering uninterrupted views of the marshes and bay beyond, this impressive home is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between architecture and nature, proving they can coexist in harmony for generations to come.

    I definitely think it's beautiful, as others have said not the most practical but I get the impression that this isn't the owner's main house, and as a guest house and/or social space out building it's fantastic. I'm sure that you could take this design and scale it up so that it had enough floor space to be practical it would make a great proper house.

    It's ok, but gives the feeling of being very uncomfortable. There's only one piece of furniture, besides the bed, that has any cushions or 'softness' to it.
    Also, being surrounded by all that water, where were any screens? People who've lived in similar environments with plenty of water (New Orleans and Milano), know just how bad the mosquitoes can get!
    The bed looked like it barely fit into the bedroom, which would create a real hassle when trying to put sheets on it.
    All in all, it's nice to look at, but I wouldn't want to live or spend a weekend there, especially in summertime.

    A few quibbles:
    -Those built-in benches running almost the entire length of the main space are a total waste. No one will ever want to sit there. They look incredibly cold and uncomfortable.
    -The huge windows in the pods are a nice touch, but you can't get in or out of the bedroom without scrambling over the bed and then dropping about 3 feet. Impractical and annoying. Also, you can't get any air without opening a door to the outside. I couldn't sleep comfortably with an open door at my feet.
    -As noted by others, the dining space looks designed to entertain 12-16 people, but the kitchen is wholly inadequate for that kind of entertaining.
    I admire the architect's passion, but I think he was more interested in creating an art object than a practical living space. This place is for 2 people max, probably 2 days at a time max.
