Overview

Herne Bay Villa is a beautifully restored family residence where classic villa character meets contemporary living. The renovation carefully preserves the home’s original architectural detailing while introducing modern comforts and integrated technology throughout. Coastal worked closely with the project team to deliver the electrical and lighting systems for the home, ensuring each element complemented the villa’s historic character while supporting modern family living.

The Brief

The project required a comprehensive electrical solution that balanced the villa's heritage features with the functionality expected of a contemporary home. Lighting and electrical services needed to integrate discreetly within the existing architecture, preserving the home’s original detailing while enhancing the warmth and atmosphere of the interior spaces. The client also required a robust technology infrastructure, security systems, and outdoor electrical services to support how the home is used day-to-day.

Design Response

Coastal developed a refined lighting approach designed to complement both the restored architectural features and the contemporary additions within the home. Interior and exterior lighting were carefully positioned to highlight detailing, material textures, and key architectural elements while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the residence. Exterior lighting subtly extends the living environment beyond the interior, illuminating pathways, entertaining areas, and landscape features while preserving the calm character of the property.

Architectural Electrical

Coastal delivered the full electrical installation for the renovation, carefully coordinating services throughout the project to ensure modern systems integrated seamlessly. A structured data network was installed to support the home’s technology requirements, alongside integrated security systems including alarm, cameras, and gate access. Electrical infrastructure was also provided for the swimming pool and outdoor areas, ensuring the home remains highly functional for both everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the project, careful attention was given to the placement of switches, outlets, and services to maintain the clean visual language of the interiors while preserving the villa’s timeless character.
