James Gorst - “Seldom is the architect blessed with the good fortune of an ideal client and an ideal site. Sandpipers is the result of that serendipity. It is a serious piece of modern architecture that rejects the vagaries of fashion and achieves its impact through formal restraint and good, traditional craftsmanship.” Reproduced from the Ordnance Survey.
