Cornish Cottage
Nestled in the back streets of one of Cornwall’s most historical villages you would never know behind the quaint Cottage door lies the most stunning blend of old and new design. The owners purchased the cottage which came with a large garden and a rambling range of outbuildings – with expert planning they have built a beautiful modern extension onto the cottage so have the enviable combination of cosy cottage features leading to airy spacious living areas – the bedroom looks over a stunning walled garden a haven in the midst of the village – a secret garden as it were!
My client’s brief was to add character to the new build spaces that reflected the Harvey’s of the original cottage – tying to two together harmoniously. I used the walled garden as my inspiration and added natural textures to bring warmth, natural elements such as wood, stone and glass to tie with the location and age of the property and botanical designs to reflect the garden. The result are rooms for all seasons – warm and cosy in Winter and light and airy in summer.
