Our connection to St Agnes

St Agnes has been part of our story for as long as we can remember. From walks along the dramatic clifftops to watching the light fall across the rugged coastline, it is a place that has always felt deeply connected to us.
 
Whether exploring the old engine houses, wandering through the village or pausing above Trevaunance Cove, our time here has shaped many of our most meaningful memories.
 
Over the years that connection has grown through a range of local projects, each giving us a deeper understanding of St Agnes’ rich mining heritage and the distinctive character woven through the parish and coastline. We have designed homes inspired by the wild beauty of the north coast, adapted spaces for modern family life and explored new ways to create architecture that feels naturally rooted in the surrounding landscape.
We have worked with clients to reimagine family homes in and around St Agnes, from traditional miner’s cottages to contemporary coastal redevelopments, always drawing on the area’s ever evolving character. Each project has strengthened our appreciation for the people who live and work here, as well as the unique identity that makes St Agnes so special.
 
These days our visits often include walks along the South West Coast Path, time spent heading towards Chapel Porth beach or simple moments wandering through the village with fresh eyes. St Agnes continues to inspire our work, shaping an approach to thoughtful design that grows from a genuine sense of place.

We are bringing modern, sustainable design to Cornwall’s coastline

Sustainability is not an extra layer for us; it runs through every stage of the design process.

From the first conversation about your brief we look for opportunities to reduce energy demand, improve long term performance and harness natural light, ventilation and orientation.

We focus on low impact materials, intelligent insulation strategies and future ready heating solutions that balance environmental responsibility with comfort and everyday practicality.

The outcome is a space that feels better to live in over time and leaves a lighter footprint on the Cornish landscape.

We are passionate about being part of beautiful projects

“My recommendation would be don’t build a house until you’ve had a chance to see it in VR, and then you really know whether you’ve made the right decisions about everything!.”

Adam and his team did a great job on designing the place. It was a fluid and enjoyable process. They really listened to what I was after but added ideas and designs beyond what I thought was possible. Blending traditional and contemporary styles to create something very unique.

Nice and talented bunch.”

We have worked professionally as a building contractor along side Marraum now on a number of projects now and it has always been a pleasure. The end product of the design has always been second to none and had a positive, life changing impact on the clients lives'. Good communication between architect and contractor is important to deliver a successful project on time and budget. Marraum have always provided the support when we needed and I look forward to further projects in the future..”
