Located on the dramatic North Cornwall coast and within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the clients for this remarkable contemporary family home shared our genuine passion for sustainability, the environment and ecology. One of the first Hempcrete block buildings in Cornwall, the dwelling’s unique approach to sustainability employs the latest technologies and philosophies whilst utilising traditional building methods and techniques. Wherever practicable the building has been designed to be ‘cement-free’ and environmentally considerate, with the overriding ambition to have the capacity to be ‘off-grid’. Wood-fibre boarding was used for the internal walls along with eco-cork insulation and render boards. Lime render and plaster throughout complete the finish. Externally, there are concrete-free substrates to all external landscaping and a natural pool surrounded by planting of native species aids the diverse ecology and environment throughout the site. A ground Source Heat Pump provides hot water and central heating in conjunction with a PV array with associated battery storage. Photographs: Stephen Brownhill

Intervención integral en vivienda unifamiliar aislada. El proyecto pone en valor el carácter rústico de la vivienda original y crea espacios unificados donde cocina-salón-comedor y exterior se convierten en un único espacio integrado. La materialidad del proyecto se resuelve mediante madera de roble que dialoga con el jardín que rodea la vivienda.

The traditional style island has been seamlessly tied to the contemporary, handleless kitchen cabinets by using the same oak for the tall cabinets and the finger groove detail that wraps around the whole kitchen. To avoid the kitchen feeling claustrophobic we chose not to use wall cabinets and instead, opted for a full length shelf over the hob area. This helps to soften the room by introducing decorative items that would otherwise be hidden away. This kitchen boasts a Quooker boiling water tap, an integrated bin, full height integrated fridge/freezer, Gaggenau appliances, plenty of pan drawers, a larder cupboard and the most beautiful burnished brass handles from Armac Martin. The worktop and upstand from Dekton creates a real statement and is complimented by the Lee Broom cut crystal pendant lights and velvet Gubi Beetle bar stools.

Dass die Prinzenvilla ein wenig reduzierter eingerichtet werden sollte, haben wir bereits im Schlafzimmerpost erwähnt. In den anderen Räumen und auch in der Küche bilden jedoch farbenfrohe Dekorationen lebendige Kontraste. Schon der Kontrast vom weißen Hochglanzlack zur Küchenseite aus geölter Natureiche verbindet Luftigkeit mit Wärme. Eine dunkle Küchenplatte bringt noch mehr Eleganz in die Kücheneinrichtung. Man sieht: Reduktion ist keinesfalls gleichbedeutend mit Sterilität. Entstanden ist stattdessen eine moderne Küche, welche mit einigen Dekorationselementen vielseitig und veränderbar wird!

The curved inside edge, the sandblasted Victorian Ash upstand wraps around the cooking centre, creating a sense of theatre. The top of the upstand was lightly sanded to provide a low maintenance surface. Photography by Andrew Ashton
