“When we anchor at magical East Head, it feels as though we are in a different country,” says Dan, who with his wife, Nina, has created their dream eco home, complete with a natural swimming pond, near the shores of tranquil Chichester Harbour.

“At the time Dan was renovating a flat in Notting Hill,” Nina recalls. “I found his enthusiasm, design ethos, attitude to his project, work - and life in general - very attractive.”
