A vernacular Cornish cottage with a dramatic glass extension has been awarded the RIBA South West Award 2018. The accolade recognises the structure’s regional importance as a piece of outstanding local architecture.
Devised by Stan Bolt Architects, the renovation and extension integrates contemporary design principles with the traditional character of the existing 1920s granite house. The single-storey glazed addition features a natural slate roof, pitched in three places to parallel the original property’s form.
The home’s hillside location enjoys sweeping views of Sennen Cove and the rugged Cornish coastline. Glass and slate complement the area’s vernacular materials, sensitively blurring the extension with the surrounding landscape.
