Sawkings Architects have granted a planning approval for the demolition of existing bungalow and the erection of a split-level single storey dwelling, utilising the views towards the estuary at St. Mawes, Truro.

The proposal incorporates a mix of traditional and contemporary materiality to achieve a design that is sympathetic with its locality, while still maintaining modern appearance.

Openings have been strategically positioned to 'frame' the estuary landscape, creating a picturesque 'experience' for the users to dive in. The use of Cornish Stone as an external and internal finish ties the proposal with its locality and creates a seamless transition between the inside and the outside.
