Rockbeare Manor: Grade 1 Listed
Rockbeare ManorThe manager of several successful wedding venues asked us if it would be possible to adapt this beautiful property, set in its own parkland, for a new purpose.

SeaspellThe owners of a tired seventies house in a fabulous location, close to the beach on Cornwall’s north coast, asked us to reimagine it as a contemporary family home.
