Private Residence, Falmouth

Sitting within a designated AONB, this new Arts and Crafts-influenced residence replaced an ‘end of life’ 1960’s bungalow. Conceived to sit above an extensive private wine cellar, this highly refined house features a dramatic circular sitting room. An internal lift provides access to all floors, from the underground level to the roof-top observation terrace showcasing panoramic views overlooking the Fal Estuary. The bespoke joinery and internal finishes detailed by The Bazeley Partnership included walnut floor-boarding, skirtings, doors and wardrobes. Curved staircases are complemented by glass handrails and the bathrooms are finished with limestone, white marble and mother-of-pearl inlay. The bedrooms were completed with vanity units clad in rustic oak and marble and feature hand-painted murals on Japanese silk wallpaper. Externally, extensive use of traditional stonework, cut granite, Delabole slate, standing seam copper roofs and copper gutters and downpipes combine to create a building that acknowledges the regional context whilst maintaining its own character.
