Brief

Set within the dramatic Cornish coastline, this new family home is designed to make the most of its spectacular setting while treading lightly on the landscape. The design responds to the site's topography and orientation, creating sheltered outdoor spaces and framing views of the sea. Sustainable construction methods and materials have been prioritized throughout, with a focus on low embodied carbon and local sourcing where possible.

Approach

  • Coastal exposure and weather resistance
  • Sensitive landscape integration
  • Sustainable construction methods

Design Focus

Cross-laminated timber structure
Large format glazing
Green roof system
Rainwater harvesting
