Trevanion, Bude, Cornwall

A major remodelling of this Cornish house turned a thermally inefficient 1970s property into a stunning, contemporary family home fit for modern living. Our design brief involved creating a new two-storey extension to add bedroom and dining space, as well as maximising panoramic coastal views from the rear of the property and creating a blend of outdoor and indoor rooms. Internally, the spacious and light interior reflects a contemporary home and features a new staircase with frameless glass balustrades, and engineered oak flooring throughout. Revealed wood beams are set against a white interior which, along with the wood burner, add traditional touches to the home, juxtaposing the old and the new. Photography: Alison White
