The Brief: to extend and reconfigure the existing stone and cob cottage, on a challenging and undulating site, without impacting on the appearance and character of the location. The proposed extension is designed as a contemporary mirror of the main cottage’s form with the existing garden room acting as a link between the old and new.
The extension frames views onto the tropical gardens and towards the sea. Internally, the new living space and master bedroom are flooded with natural light and flamboyant colour, whilst externally the design took cue from the often unexpected use of colour in simple agricultural buildings found in rural Cornwall, and we were interested in how bold colour can accentuate the composition of a landscape.
