St Christopher’s

St Christophers Lounge St Christophers Staircase 2 St Christophers View St Ives

St Christopher’s occupies a prominent beach-front position in the Downalong Conservation Area of St Ives. The constraints on the project were considerable, with works to a listed building, in a conservation area with the beach facade in a potential wave attack zone at the rear of Porthmeor beach.

We have sought to create a contemporary studio style artist’s residence with extensive living and entertaining areas.

Key historic features have been retained and highlighted through judicious interior lighting and views have been maximised, particularly to the sea across Porthmeor beach. The architecture of the scheme is a marriage of traditional and contemporary elements, with retained facades where appropriate and cutting edge glazed screens where light and views are sought. The scheme totals over 600sqm of living space and promises to be a unique but complementary addition to the beach-scape of Porthmeor.
