AWARD WINNER Trewoofe Orchard, Lamorna (Andrew Travers for Michael McKee) 'Trewoofe Orchard is a pleasant early twentieth century house built for philosopher Alfred Sedgwick and his novelist wife, Cecily. Set within a stunning woodland garden near Lamorna Cove the house has suffered over the years with a series of extensions, which this imaginative reworking has removed. Instead a cleanly designed modern wrap around extension has been added providing additional kitchen space and living accommodation, whilst connecting the house so much more effectively with the picturesque garden. Beyond the elegant design, reminiscent of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, and relationship between inside and outside the judges were particularly impressed by the quality of stonework, which matched local vernacular traditions.'
