Jason Statham, the acclaimed British action star, and his longtime partner Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the model and actress, are building what could be their most ambitious project yet. The Hollywood couple are constructing a $33 million ‘forever home’ on England’s South Coast that blends high design, family living and a back-to-nature lifestyle in one of the most unexpected of settings.According to Hello Magazine, the couple have secured a sprawling 20-acre seafront site where a striking new-build home is rising just moments from a naturist beach, a detail that has raised eyebrows among fans and onlookers alike. The property itself is nothing short of extraordinary, and the location has only added to the intrigue surrounding the build.
The 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 home has been meticulously planned around a central courtyard, complete with a sleek lap pool that forms the heart of the residence. While the design is contemporary and minimalist the materials including clay brick, cedar shingle oak and lead lend it a warm, grounded feel that reflects its natural coastal surroundings.The home boasts five bedrooms and its own private 1,200-foot stretch of beach, offering the family a rare sense of seclusion. Beyond the main residence, the grounds include a vast boating lake spanning 42,000 square feet, a wild swimming pond, and an enormous treehouse designed for the couple’s children, Jack, eight, and Isabella, four.Fitness and wellbeing have clearly been central to the design. A fully equipped gym and indoor lap pool are being built to suit the pair’s famously active lifestyles, while a separate outbuilding will house stables, 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 reimagined to suit Statham’s minimalist taste. The total cost, including construction, is expected to come in at around $33 million.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on the move back to her roots
For Huntington-Whiteley, this project represents far more than a change of address. It marks a return to the kind of rural life she grew up with in Devon, one she has long spoken about wanting to recreate for her own family. “I’ve been dreaming of this since I left home,” she recently shared. “It will be mud and kids climbing trees… I want peace.”She described her childhood as “rustic, outdoorsy, wild, simple,” spent in a cottage surrounded by animals where she learned self-sufficiency from a young age. After years split between London and Los Angeles, she is now intentionally stepping away from what she calls a “destination-driven” lifestyle in favour of something slower and more grounded.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s move back to the UK
The couple, who have been together since 2010, have already begun the transition. They recently sold their Malibu beach house and have been spending increasing amounts of time in the UK, including at their Chelsea townhouse, as they prepare for a more permanent move to the South Coast.The build has not gone entirely unnoticed locally. Residents have reportedly expressed frustration over construction traffic, while Statham himself has already been spotted strolling along the nearby beach with friends, including his ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ co-star Vinnie Jones.Disclaimer: Figures presented in this article are derived from various public sources and are considered approximate unless explicitly noted.
