MA House takes its name from the Japanese concept of ma - the space between. Designed by Matte Architecture, this award-winning home is a place of remarkable light, volume and generosity.
From the street, its simple metal form quietly references Carrington's working portside heritage. Inside, soaring ceilings, carefully considered proportions and greenery in every direction create a sense of calm and openness. Large sliding doors draw back on both sides, extending the living space outdoors and creating an easy space to gather and share meals with family and friends.
Made to move with the seasons, the home welcomes northern sun onto its burnished concrete floor in winter and opens to cooling harbour breezes in summer. Upstairs, flip-up shutters frame changing skies and the slow passage of ships through the harbour.
