Coastal SIPs New Build: Modern Eco Residence, Selsey
Architect: Martin Henn
Photography: Julia Toms
Located on the Selsey coastline, this striking eco-friendly new build represents a complete modern transformation, replacing a historic railway carriage property typical of the area’s unique architectural heritage. Built using advanced Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs), the high-performance design pairs exceptional thermal efficiency with bold modern aesthetics. The exterior combines vertical cedar timber cladding, crisp off-white render, double gables, and upper-level glass balustrade balconies to create a light-filled, contemporary coastal home.
WSCB provided complete main contractor services, overseeing every phase of the specialist SIPs assembly, structural timber framing, custom oak joinery, and interior finishes. From the double-height entrance hall with its bespoke oak and glass staircase to the open-plan navy kitchen and seamless outdoor patio connection, WSCB delivered precision craftsmanship and total project management to bring this high-specification sustainable build to life.
