Architecture & Interior Design
Perched on the hillside above the tranquil waters of St Mawes Bay, this newly built family home embraces the spirit of Cornwall through crafted natural materials, timeless design, and a deep connection to its coastal landscape.
Lime-rendered stone walls, a Delabole slate roof, and native Cornish stone terraces root the house effortlessly into its setting. Carefully embedded within the hillside, the home cascades towards the sea, where a private terrace and stone steps lead directly into the water — a rare and privileged relationship with the shoreline.
Inside, the architecture opens into contemporary, light-filled living spaces designed for modern family life. Expansive glazing frames panoramic views of the village and the open sea beyond, blurring the line between indoors and out. Generous terraces, intimate garden rooms, and candle-lit dining areas create a home for gathering, entertaining, and quiet reflection.
Beyond the main house, a black-clad annex offers flexible accommodation for family and guests — a subtle counterpoint to the pale stone of the principal home. It provides privacy and independence while remaining connected through shared outdoor spaces and views.
Together, the main residence and annex create a retreat that balances intimacy and generosity, tradition and innovation — a home that feels as though it has always belonged, yet looks confidently toward the future.
This is a home that celebrates craft, material honesty, and the rhythms of coastal living — a timeless Cornish retreat for the modern dweller.
