The project was the result of a highly collaborative design process between the client and architect. This collaboration led to a design outcome which prioritised light, expanding volumes and increasing connectivity both within the home and out to the garden. Within the complex original plan, rational solutions were found to make sense of late twentieth century extensions and underutilised spaces. Compartmentalised spaces have been reprogrammed to allow for generous open plan living. A series of internal voids were used to promote social connection across and between floors, while introducing new light into the depths of the home.

Our award-winning designs for six, three-bedroom, beach-side cottages in one of Cornwall’s most iconic locations have transformed what was an outdated, redundant holiday complex into a development of innovative, low energy, sustainable buildings that fit harmoniously into their location. In close proximity to a Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Cornwall Coast AONB, the project presented a unique opportunity to blend high-quality, contemporary design with sustainable technologies that respect the natural character of the area. In order to re-establish the sense of a rural, wild, heathland setting, the new cottages were partly cut into the natural elevation of the site and feature a live green roof, allowing them to integrate into the landscape. The use of natural materials and removal of external boundary walls, garages and paved areas completed the restoration to a more indigenous coastal environment. The roof forms are directly inspired by the lines and form of the coastal headlands to the south of the site and the surrounding topography.
