Situated on the picturesque coast of Cornwall in South West England , the recently completed family home , dubbed the Stone House offers unparalleled sea views and a unique view of historic castle , St Michael ’ s Mount . Designed and brought to life by the combined efforts of Suzanne Brewer Architects and Lilly Lewarne Architects , Kebony , a global leader in the production of sustainable modified wood , was used to clad the exterior of this contemporary building , creating a beautiful natural mix of both wood and stone .
The homeowner ’ s dream was brought to life earlier this year ; Suzanne Brewer Architects , guided the project through a successful planning permission , whilst Lilly Lewarne Architects was the practice appointed to carry out the technical design and construction stages of this contemporary project by the sea .
Stone and Kebony wood were the materials selected inside and out for their authenticity and the way in which they ‘ wear in ’ instead of ‘ wearing out ’, creating a rustic feel for the property which elegantly blends into the natural landscape of the Cornish hillside . Kebony ’ s enhanced durability , sustainable qualities and unique aesthetic made it the perfect choice of wood for this unique project .
