The Sussex by Mckimm is a luxury house design shaped by material weight, water, family life and a carefully choreographed journey through the home.
The project is for a family of six with a wider extended family brief, so the architecture has to balance intimate daily routines with larger gatherings and entertaining.
Project focus
The design celebrates brick, bluestone, porcelain, concrete, timber and leathered granite. Those materials create weight and texture, while curved forms and warmer tones soften the experience of the house.
Water is part of the spatial story too. The pool, shallows and changing levels help shape the journey home, from arrival to gathering, retreat and end-of-day privacy.

Built project lesson
A strong residential project page should make the lived sequence clear: arrival, cooking, gathering, retreat, sleep and the small transitions between them.
