We are bringing modern, sustainable design to Cornwall’s coastline
Sustainability isn’t an add-on for us, it’s woven into every stage of the design process.
From the moment we explore your brief, we look for ways to reduce energy use, improve long-term performance and make the most of natural light, ventilation and orientation.
We consider low-impact materials, smart insulation strategies and future-proof heating solutions, balancing environmental responsibility with comfort and practicality.
The result is a space that not only feels better to live in, but one that stands the test of time with a lighter footprint on the Cornish landscape.

We are passionate about being part of beautiful projects
“Highly recommended. Marraum helped us convert our old fashioned tiny 2 bedroom terraced house by the sea, into a stunning, contemporary and spacious home. They have an incredible eye for space and could see that with minimal extension and a reconfiguration, we could maximise the space, and the views! We are thrilled with the result. We would never have thought it possible to achieve everything they managed to accommodate in a relatively small space, and they rose to every challenge we set them. In addition to this, they were absolutely lovely to work with. We would certainly use them for any future projects..”

“We can't recommend Marraum highly enough. Adam and his team took great care in exploring and understanding our vision for extending and remodelling our coastal home. The resulting plans are beautiful aesthetically and perfectly suited to how we will live in the house. We were guided through what can be a complicated process with professionalism and efficiency every step of the way. We are now ready to start the building works and can't wait to live in our new home.”
Harriet C
“New to the area and not knowing who to turn to for my full renovation project i signed up to a local company unknown to me, Marraum. From the first review meeting i knew that i'd made a good choice. I found the team at Marruam to very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, enthusiastic, dynamic and creative, and it was clear they had a real interest and passion for there job, and a personal interest to each project. They went above my expectations and helped in every aspect of my renovation project, from concepts and designs, structural requirements, and to planning & building control. They even pointed me in the direction of good local trade-persons to undertake the project. I would highly recommend the team at Marruam, and would without doubt use them for any future projects i undertake.”
