Best New Building in Cornwall 2024
We were delighted to receive Cornish Buildings Group award for the Best New Building in Cornwall for our new build 'Morlanow' in Falmouth.
"This tiny home, prominently yet sensitively located at the corner of Florence Terrace and Trelawney Road, was born out of a derelict former garage/workshop/stables that was beyond saving. Alex and Nina have contextually combined Cornish vernacular construction in stone, slate and corrugated metal with modern craft techniques, sustainable local materials and ‘yacht design principles’ to create a modern and efficient home."
"Attention to detail is apparent in everything from the back-bedded Trevillett slatestone walling to the oak panelling and stairs within. Huge stone lintels were created from slitting a piece of reclaimed Carnmenellis granite, and a granite staddle-stone designed by Alex & Nina and hand-carved by Tim Marsh granite, supports a corner post by the front door."
"A worthy winner by two of Cornwall’s new aspiring young architects."
