Gullwing Retreat

The Gullwing Retreat draws its form from the dynamic arc of a seagull in flight — a roof that rises and spreads at both ends, creating dramatic interior volumes beneath. Positioned on the Cape coast, the building mediates between the raw energy of the ocean and the calm of sheltered living. The structure is simultaneously bold and poetic, a piece of architecture that belongs to its landscape while refusing to disappear into it. Its perceived kinetic form captures the untamed spirit of the sea, a wild aesthetic soaring above the cliffs.
