Working with a family in Newquay, Marraum transformed a modest semi-detached 1930s house into a bright, flexible home tailored to evolving family life. The goal was to create a comfortable space that would support the family over time while remaining budget-conscious and within the existing footprint. Our design focused on unlocking the potential of the rear annex and improving the flow of the main house. We reconfigured the ground floor to create a spacious kitchen and dining area opening to the south-facing garden, while retaining a cosy lounge at the front and a practical utility and bathroom. Upstairs, we enhanced the stairwell and landing, added a fourth bedroom, and introduced an ensuite and built-in wardrobe to the master. The annex gained clearer zoning and improved access. Finished in bold colours, plywood accents and vibrant greenery, the house now reflects the family’s personality and offers a thoughtful, future-ready living environment. www.marraum.co.uk
