Seahorses is a stunning new home near Falmouth enjoying magnificent panoramic views of the south coast seascape. Sitting on the clifftops within an AONB, the house and gardens occupy a gently sloping site that connects with the adjacent South West Coastal Path. The context and terrain of the surrounding landscape informed the design and an imaginative and ambitious solution to site levels was crucial to the success of the scheme. As a result, the completed house is lower than the original, thus creating privacy for the occupants whilst still respecting neighbouring homes. The split-level, linear design is carefully organised around a spine wall of local granite that runs from the exterior of the building through the interior. This arrangement allows the living areas and bedrooms to connect with the landscape and integrate seamlessly with outdoor spaces. A mix of grasses, sedum and indigenous coastal plants on the green roof help to embed the building into its surroundings. The palette of natural materials creates a layered, permeable effect on the exterior, which will season with time and weather, thereby allowing it to assimilate into its coastal setting. Of equal importance was landscaping, which was integral to the design intent. With thoughtful positioning of the new dwelling, significant areas of mature and established planting were protected and retained. Photograph: Elliott White Photography

Barnes Family Home: 'House of Colour'

LEIVARS

This young and vibrant family wanted an open plan space where they could cook, see their children play and interact whilst they were in the kitchen, a social space to cook for friends / family and be part of the conversation at the same time. We designed the perfect over sized banquette seating to maximise the number of guests in addition to conventional dining chairs, the perfect balance in every way. Adding mirrors helped soften the open plan feel allowing softness and movement throughout the day and evening.

The large kitchen and dining room opening out onto the garden at the lower ground floor. The head height was increased by a metre in order to match the upper ground floor. The space is greeted with an expanse of light and greenery, out through the 3m high Crittall style doors. The rough hewn garden steps lead you up to the original garden level and a purpose built fire place at the end of the garden, the perfect space for entertaining on sunny evening.

Martins Camisuli Architects

This terrace house had remained empty for over two years and was in need of a complete renovation. Our clients wanted a beautiful home with the best potential energy performance for a period property. The property was extended on ground floor to increase the kitchen and dining room area, maximize the overall building potential within the current Local Authority planning constraints. The attic space was extended under permitted development to create a master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The palette of materials is a warm combination of natural finishes, textures and beautiful colours that combine to create a tranquil and welcoming living environment.

Blue & Oak Scandi-Style Kitchen in St Albans

Audus Kitchens

This kitchen in St Albans was created as part of a new entertainment space, designed to bring family and friends together. Our clients wanted a bright and open space that could be used for both everyday life and entertaining. With a preference for a Scandi-inspired look, we achieved this by choosing our handleless range in a stunning combination of Fjord Blue, Sand and Como Oak. This mix of shades adds character and warmth while maintaining a clean and minimalist look. Worktops are 20mm AG Silestone in Nolita Suede, supplied by Algarve Granite. The subtle tone enhances the natural textures of the scheme, offering a refined surface that’s both practical and elegant. Appliances are by Siemens, ensuring modern performance and seamless integration. A Blanco sink and Quooker tap provide added functionality, keeping the kitchen efficient without compromising on design. The layout has been tailored to the client’s request for a true entertainment space, featuring a walk-in larder and dedicated wine storage for easy access during gatherings. With ample space for family and friends, the result is a kitchen that combines style and sociability. If this St Albans project has given you ideas for your own home, why not get in touch with our team today? From design to installation, we’ll help you create a space that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
