An Art Deco style build in Carlyon Bay. The architect for the original house was Marshall Sissons and it was built by Staverton Building Co. of Dartington in 1932. The present owners and architechts www.alanleatherassociates.co.uk looked into expanding and re-modelling the house, but due to its lack of cavity walls and associated damp problems, it was decided to re-build, keeping the Art Deco style but with a modern twist.
A double garage has been added to the lower ground floor along with the main entrance. This leads into an exciting hallway featuring a staircase with cantilevered oak treads (if you have armfuls of shopping, you can take the lift) leading to galleries overlooking a full height void and window. Set in flush to the plastered wall is a 7 metre high by 20mm LED - an exciting strip of light, very sexy!
The finished project was a regional winner of an LABC (Local Authority Building Control) award for building excellence in delivery of outstanding construction and workmanship.
