Carly's Cottage, Cornwall
New-build private house · Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty · Restronguet Point, Cornwall · 2021– (ongoing)
Attribution — Gianni Botsford Architects. Sangmin Cha credited as design team member.
Challenge — A new house within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Cornish coast, where landscape and ecological impact govern consent and any visible mass is contested.
Approach — The scheme was generated from the sightlines along Restronguet Point and Restronguet Passage rather than from the plot geometry. Served and servant spaces were separated, with angled walls and transparency directing a fluid openness toward the views, so that the house reads as a simple and modest form within an established Cornish garden. Landscape, ecology and landscape-visual assessment consultants were integrated from the outset.
Outcome — Design and Access Statement developed through resubmission; project ongoing.
