design et al are delighted to announce that David James Architects & Associates Ltd have been shortlisted for Residential £5 Million Plus (Property By Value) Award in The International Design And Architecture Awards 2016 

The Moondance apartments provide an exceptional lived experience; created by dynamic architecture, luxurious interiors and a picture perfect location. The design brief was to create a distinctive residential living experience within an apartment block. Internally the apartments were to feel like individual bespoke houses while the external fabric of the building was specifically designed to represent a large house rather a traditional apartment block. Extensive use of glazing embraces the stunning location bringing the exterior into the rooms, with the expanse of sea becoming part of the whole living experience.  Terraces facilitate the outdoor experience and oversized sliding glass doors open to provide flow between the interior and exterior spaces.
In the penthouse, feature frameless glass walls are utilized inter nally, linking the double height space over the dining room. Each apartment has stunning panoramic views of Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island, and the design embraces all available natural light while maximizing views across the water.
