Panoramic

Hi there! Thank you for your comments. For clarity, we are the Architects on the project, not the owners. To answer your queries on the design - the site very much informed the design approach for the house, as the front faces onto a public road and privacy was a key consideration for the owner. The rear opens out to sea views and open fields, hence the covered terrace and the rake at the rear of property, which also give the owner privacy from immediate neighbours either side. The owner was very inspired by 1930s modernism and this property is a contemporary take on his aspirations, taking into consideration planning and context for home design and development in Cornwall, UK. We would say that each elevation of the property responds to the context and also meets the brief given by our client. There is a more detailed portfolio of this project on our Houzz page, please feel free to take a look. The Bazeley Partnership

Please can anyone suggest the best method to deep clean, what I think, are porcelain floor tiles? They have a textured finish and ad we live beside a beach, dirt, dust and sand easily lodge and make the tiles look constantly grubby and generally filthy. I have tried conventional mops, scrubbing on my hands and knees which isn't ideal! Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated!

I live in the Scottish Borders and three years ago there was a government incentive to externally insulate the houses. Due to the construction of the houses (poured concrete they couldn’t have cavity wall insulation ) . The difference to the heating bills is unbelievable but the look of the house is fabulous as there was new render put on new window sills and down pipes .i agree with the comment that just doing one house would stand out like a sore thumb but it just takes one to start the ball rolling . Maybe speak to your neighbours and they may want to do the same . All the houses in my street had the cladding and it has transformed the look of the street . I have since revamped my lounge and kitchen. There was nothing wrong with the kitchen cupboards so they where painted ,new work tops and sink . I did have a breakfast bar that took up a lot of room which I have replaced with a glass table . My next project is my bedroom which is getting refitted with new wardrobes and draws . Ex local authority houses are well built and have big rooms , they are worth buying as you can do so much with them ,I have bigger cupboards than the rooms that are in some new builds . This is my kitchen, it is so much lighter and more space . The back board is the same as the work top , so no tiles to grout .
