Alteration to existing property, Sited in AONB
Studio J, Jubilee Warehouse , Commercial Road , Penryn , Cornwall , TR10 8AE , United Kingdom
This bold transformation in Crackington Haven has turned a modest mid-century house into a refined and modern coastal retreat. Inspired by serene rural views and proximity to dramatic cliffs and beach, the clients set out to create a striking yet harmonious family home. The design features new double-height extensions and a full refurbishment of the existing structure, uniting old and new with vaulted ceilings, expansive glazing and a monochrome palette. Inside, minimalist detailing and a strong architectural form deliver impact and clarity, while maintaining echoes of the original house. Open-plan living zones now support daily life with areas for cooking, dining and relaxing, all centred around a sleek, double-sided log burner. Six bedrooms, two offices and a formal lounge complete the layout. High-spec finishes, underfloor heating and polished concrete floors elevate comfort throughout. Outside, hard landscaping and a granite kitchen extend the living experience year-round, connecting home and garden seamlessly. www.marraum.co.uk
