Contemporary residential architecture in a rural landscape
Cornwall

architects serving cornwall.

An architect-led, digital-first practice delivering considered residential projects across Cornwall.

From coastal properties in St Ives to rural conversions around Bodmin Moor, we help homeowners and landowners shape projects that respond to Cornwall Council policy, protected landscapes, heritage constraints and local character.

Local Expertise

working across cornwall.

One consistent LXW process, tailored to the planning authority, site constraints and architectural character of each location.

Planning context

  • Cornwall Local Plan Strategic Policies, adopted in 2016, form the core local policy framework
  • Cornwall's Climate Emergency DPD, adopted in February 2023, adds local policies on climate-responsive development
  • Cornwall National Landscape, conservation areas and listed buildings can require stronger landscape and heritage justification
  • Coastal sites often need early consideration of flood risk, coastal change, access and landscape impact

Councils and authorities

  • Cornwall Council
