Houzz Tour: A Victorian House Beachfront With a surprising interior - When owners of this Victorian house in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, first bought their home, it was run down and was not updated for many years. So with the help of Azman Architects, they gave it a complete overhaul: the interior was completely gutted, leaving only the front and back and the shape of the roof intact.
Now, the interior is airy, open and discreet, with clean lines and light colors creating a serene atmosphere in harmony with the relaxed beach life.

owners of this Victorian house would capitalize wonderful sea views they receive from their house double fronted seafront. Before the renovation, the rooms were dark and dingy, so Ferhan Azman set out to design the space in a way that not only did most large windows in the bedrooms, but downplayed the internal visual obstacles, too.
Although the facade has been maintained, most of the internal structure was completely rebuilt. Azman internal walls removed to open the space, which means a steel frame needed to be inserted in the outer wall to maintain the structural integrity of the building.

the ground floor was opened to create one large space. The open cupboard and slatted partition offer some privacy but are intentionally minimal, allowing light and color to share with the kitchen-dining room and living room.
"I personally do not believe completely open living, said Azman. "There must be limits in every room - there is a need to feel surrounded. It helps humans to identify psychologically in a fixed location and offers comfortable. "
