cornwall coastal house
A contemporary Cornish coastal retreat to reflect
our clients’ bold and modern aesthetic.
project background
We were coming to the completion of our clients’ London house when they asked us to pop down and have a look at their Cornish bolthole.
What was initially going to be a little refresh turned into a rather more substantial refurbishment including a new landscape design for the garden as well as an interior refurbishment.
Knowing our clients’ style extremely well at this point, we set about creating a bold design that would work well with their existing pieces and modern artworks, whilst following their strict instructions not to include any cliché nautical features!
We worked with wonderful local craftspeople and carefully chose the furniture and finishes to withstand the coastal environment. The result was a fresh, contemporary interior that beautifully reflects the vibrant style of our clients.
The house is designed to maximise the incredible seaside view from almost every room in the house and we wanted the interiors to complement this. For the dining area curtains we chose a fabric that gave a nod to the changing view of the estuary.
Our client gave us strict instructions not to include any cliché nautical features so we incorporated unexpected ocean motifs in bespoke joinery and wallpaper.
