Residences

SALTHOUSE - ST. IVES

After an original scheme submitted by another
architect was refused by Planning LLP were
commissioned to redesign the proposals and
negotiate a successful outcome with the Local
Planning Authority. The main body of the existing
3 storey house is preserved but the inclusion of
balcony extensions, internal remodelling and
replacement roof accommodation has meant a
complete aesthetic overhaul has been achieved to
provide high quality contemporary accommodation.







NEW DWELLING, NEWQUAY

The clients for this proposed dwelling wished to demolish and develop
their existing property into a high quality dwelling suitable for both their
needs and the steeply sloping site in Newquay. The new design makes best
use of the magnificent views available over the Gannel estuary between
Pentire and Crantock but also creates more efficient usable space both to
the garden terrace and the entrance from the road. The design has gone
through an intricate development process with the clients, adjusting to meet
new desires and requirements to achieve planning approval in February
2015. The new design creates a patinated copper box grounded into the
slope by cutting into it and utilising concrete cladding panels combined with
the existing stone terrace features.







QUAY HOUSE, ST. MAWES

Quay house is situated at the head of a sharp curve in the Percuil River, near St. Mawes, Cornwall. The
previous dwelling had been formed in a clearing in the densely wooded area forming a bank to the
water commanding strategic views both up and down river around the bend. The site is accessed across
three plateaued meadow fields before descending steeply and sharply to a ledge nestled with its back
against the hard rock that forms the topography. Descending further brings you to an existing Cornish
granite formed Quay with two sets of granite steps providing the physical connection to the water. Over
the years the clearing had been tamed into stone terraced gardens and features which focused on
particular views out to the river.

The design of Quay House sought to respond to the steep topography, existing built features and focused
views whilst providing the client with 4 Bedroomed living accommodation. The river is a resource that
should be protected and as such a design was produced that resulted in as minimal detrimental visual
impact as possible. The Lower Ground floor is set partially submerged into the ground which dictated
the layout and location of the main living spaces on this floor. Large corner glazing and openings were
incorporated between the use of heavy stone faced ‘pillars’ to portray the submerged nature of the
spaces whilst allowing as much light in as feasibly possible. The stone was carefully chosen to tie in with
the existing aesthetic of the original loose laid dry stone terrace walling.



























MANOR HOUSE RESTORATION AND EXTENSION,
TREGONY

Set in a large estate between Truro and St. Mawes, this
Grade II listed manor house was in a state of decay when
Lilly lewarne took on the detailed design work in 2009. The
project required LLP to detail new additions to the historic
fabric of the building retaining the essence of a 18th Century
manor house (extensively re-modelled in 1820 but also
creating spaces internally that would suit a contemporary
family. Many existing features were recorded and accurately
re-created and the finest craftsmanship used to carry out the
repairs and replicated in the additions.

Detailing to this level required a huge collaborative effort
and a unique understanding regarding the physical task of
combining new construction with historic fabric.















EXTENSION TO LISTED HOUSE, ST. MAWES

This site is in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the house itself is grade II listed. The design allowed
the main house is to be conserved in a manner that aimed to restore its façade to an original design. Over a period of time
sub-standard extensions have been bolted onto the house, by removing these extensions the original design will reveal itself
in both plan and elevation. The intention was to design two new extensions in a contemporary style that will complement
the existing with a sensitive contrast. The original house is framed with structures and structural planting to either side by
formalising the gardens to reflect more of what is seen on an ordnance survey map published in 1880.







REPLACEMENT DWELLING RESTRONGUET

The clients for Harbour Lights wished to demolish and develop their existing property into a high
quality dwelling suitable for both their needs and the site. The new design makes best use of the
magnificent views available over the Carrick Roads but also now provides a greater sense of
dual aspect to allow the residents to enjoy the front garden aspect. The design respects the visual
amenity for users of the Carrick Roads by breaking up its massing by splitting the roof form with a
lowered garden roof terrace that accentuates the main Monterey Cypress tree behind to allow more
of it be viewed from the river. The new design delivers a simple and clean aesthetic that blends into
the surrounding context with its appropriate scale, design and carefully chosen materials.











BARN CONVERSION, PONSANOOTH

Cosawes Barton is a small country estate in the village of Ponsanooth, Cornwall, made up of
house, cottage, barns and landscaped grounds. In 2011 prospective purchasers approached Lilly
Lewarne with an idea to convert the courtyard of agricultural barns into holiday cottages. The
transition from initial concept right through to first lettings was a model implementation of the
traditional procurement route, built out by a local contractor under JCT contract. The project was
built in two phases, the first being complete by Easter 2013 in time for a full letting season, and
being fully booked through that year. Guests were so pleased with their stay during the first year that
many decided to book straight away for a return visit in 2014. The second phase was completed
by the original building contractor, ready to open in Easter 2014.









HOUSE ALTERATIONS, PENZANCE

The project brief was to uplift the existing tired
building, improve its thermal efficiency and provide
additional contemporary accommodation for a
family to live in. This was a bespoke design for the
client who then project managed the works on site.

WAREHOUSE CONVERSION, TRURO

A conceptual scheme for the conversion of a low rent, under-utilised quayside historic
warehouse building in the Truro Conservation area. Lilly Lewarne were commissioned
to develop proposals for conversion to a single warehouse residential property, having
developed a number of successful residential and commercial schemes for this client in
Truro’s riverside quarter. The proposals consider contemporary but sensitive redevelopment
of the historic shell with minimal but ‘key note’ contemporary intervention to the main
external fabric, while largely re-writing the script internally to create an exciting and
dynamic series of spaces around a central external court.
