NEW BUILD

Holiday home, Widemouth Bay, Bude, Cornwal Coastal homes with views of the sea and landscape, Widemouth Bay, Bude, Cornwall

NEW BUILD offers the opportunity to design a building completely fit for purpose and one that should satisfy the client in every respect – aesthetically, practically and financially - all of which should be inter-dependent. A building that has visual appeal will often be practically functional and its worth as an investment enhanced. Conversely an unattractive building may be awkward functionally and is unlikely to attract as much interest should it ever come to market. Employing a good architect to achieve this balance should be every client’s priority in order to squeeze the best out of the design and realise the project’s full potential. The value a good architect can bring to a project can far outweigh their cost.

Free-flowing, sculpted interior

COASTAL HOME, WIDEMOUTH BAY, BUDE, Cornwall. Situated on a small triangular plot, and with tight height restrictions, this pair of 1 ½ storey dwellings replaces a former bungalow. Taking advantage of the magnificent sea views, living accommodation is located on the upper floors

The gables are aligned towards the principal views, with the roofs projecting over to express the dwellings' connection with the sea and surrounding landscape. The red cedar timber cladding will weather in time to a silver grey colour, reminiscent of sun-bleached driftwood. The upper floor is open plan with kitchen, living room and dining room forming a single free-flowing space.(1305).

SELF-BUILD OAK FRAMED DWELLING NEAR TRURO. The new self-build oak framed dwelling is under construction on its secluded wooded site with views over Truro River.
