Welcome to Marraum- a leading local architects practice
From the glimmer of an idea to the stroke of a pencil, the first turn of a door handle to the flickering of a smile across a face, at Marraum we bring more to your space – and take your story beyond its walls.
And we begin with you. Because at the heart of each architecture project – studio spaces, commercial builds, barn conversions or building that dream home – are the people who use it.
They’re the yawns that stretch to eye-widening views in the morning. They’re the feet feeling cool concrete underfoot. They’re the eyes looking for inspiration at their desks. And the shoulders that hunker down in the evening. These are the people whose surroundings bring more to each and every experience.
With years of architecture and design experience in both Cornwall and further afield – paired with aesthetic drive, strong ethics and constant curiosity – we know how to make space work harder for you. So from beginning, middle and end – discover how you can bring your own story of space to life.

Integrating virtual reality into architecture
Want to see what your future home will look like? Let us show you round. We're the first architects in Cornwall to embrace this cutting-edge virtual-reality (VR) technology as standard on every project.
Transporting you into the heart of your design, VR lets you experience first-hand how your new home looks, from the sizing of rooms and the heights of ceilings to how light affects the space. Sharpening your vision, testing how your new design works for you and removing uncertainties before you build.
We’re embracing the unique possibilities of the latest technology so that you’re getting more from your new space. And living the life you want to in it.

How we incorporate sustainability into your design
Balancing people and planet lies at the heart of everything we do. Seeking out design solutions that result in energy-efficient buildings is part of our DNA. And our minds are always on how we can minimise waste during builds.
Why? Because we want to make sure you have the information you need to make informed choices about your future home and its impact.
From material and energy choices to the layout of your space, we approach every project with a focus on sustainability - maximising energy efficiency and saving resources.
From recommending local builders and more sustainable materials, to showing you ways to stop heat and energy leaking out of your home, it’s an approach that minimises waste and impact on the planet. Yet focuses on the way you want to live.

Creating your new story of space
No two projects are the same. Whether you have the glimmer of an idea, or your plans are already underway, we’re happy to flex. Whatever the project, whatever the stage of architectural planning you need, we’re ready to help.
