Jason Statham, the iconic British action star, and his long-time partner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the model and actress, are building what could be their most ambitious project to date. The Hollywood couple is building a $33 million “forever home” on the south coast of England, which blends high-end design, family living and a back-to-nature lifestyle in one of the most unexpected places.According to Hello Magazine, the couple has secured a sprawling 20-acre waterfront site where a stunning new home is rising just moments from a nudist beach, a detail that has raised eyebrows among fans and onlookers alike. The property itself is nothing short of exceptional, and the location only adds to the plot surrounding the building.
Design and features of Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s new home
Designed in a bold Brutalist architectural style, the single-level, U-shaped house is meticulously planned around a central courtyard, complete with an elegant swimming pool that forms the heart of the residence.
While the design is contemporary and simple, materials including clay brick, cedar shingles, oak and lead give it a warm, settled feel that reflects its natural coastal setting.The home has five bedrooms and its own 1,200-foot private beach, providing the family with a rare sense of seclusion. Outside the headquarters, the grounds include an expansive 42,000-square-foot boating lake, a land-based swimming pool, and a massive treehouse designed for the couple’s children, Jack, eight, and Isabella, four.
Obviously, fitness and luxury were key elements of the design. A fully equipped gym and indoor swimming pool have been built to suit the couple’s active lifestyle, while a separate outbuilding will contain stables, in a nod to Rosie’s lifelong passion for horses.The property was originally designed by one of the royal family’s trusted architects before being redesigned to suit Statham’s minimalist taste. The total cost, including construction, is expected to be about $33 million.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is going back to her roots
For Huntington-Whiteley, this project represents much more than just a change of address. It represents a return to the kind of rural life she grew up in Devon, a life she has long spoken of wanting to recreate for her family. “I’ve been dreaming about this ever since I left home,” she said recently. “It will be mud and children climbing trees… I want peace.”She described her childhood as “rural, outdoorsy, wild, simple”, spent in a cabin surrounded by animals where she learned to be self-sufficient from a young age.
After years split between London and Los Angeles, she is now deliberately moving away from what she calls a “destination-oriented” lifestyle in favor of something slower and more steady.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley return to the UK
The couple, who have been together since 2010, have already begun the transition. They recently sold their beach house in Malibu, and are spending increasing time in the UK, including their home in Chelsea, as they prepare for a permanent move to the South Coast.The construction did not go unnoticed locally. Residents have reportedly expressed frustration with the construction traffic, while Statham himself has already been seen strolling along the nearby beach with friends, including Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels co-star Vinnie Jones.Disclaimer: The figures in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless expressly indicated.
