The brief

The owners wanted more living space and a home that made the most of the sea views to the rear, which the existing garage and layout were blocking.

What we did

  • Design and 3D visuals
  • Interior design
  • Planning permission
  • Building regulations drawings
  • Structural coordination

Our approach

We designed a large side extension in place of the demolished garage, opening the back of the house to the views over Porth Beach, with a raised terrace to enjoy them from.

3D visuals and interior design helped the owners make material choices early, avoiding costly changes later, and gave the planners a clear picture of the proposal.

We secured planning permission and produced the building regulations drawings, with structural calculations, before the owners handed the plans to a local contractor to build.
