Stithians Parish Council

A pavilion for the community, present and future

Public consultation 14th November 2024

WELCOME TO MARRAUM

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, private loft conversions, commercial builds 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.

THE BRIEF

To provide a new pavilion for the community. The project will involve the demolition of the existing unused and structurally unsafe pavilion and the construction of a purpose built pavilion to accommodate new modern changing rooms, showers, public toilets and a versatile youth hub space. At this stage, the concept design should test what might be achievable on the site. 

The proposed scheme explores locating the new building along the northern boundary of the playing field. This site provides the opportunity to create a linear modular building that can be expanded to suit the needs of the community over time. Nestled alongside the existing Cornish hedge, the proposal seeks to provide connections between the current sports facilities and playing field. A new community garden is proposed in place of the existing pavilion to repurpose the site into a vibrant gathering space.
