HELFORD RIVER, South Cornwall

A sleek contemporary home on the Helford River, South Cornwall

A rare and fantastic opportunity to work on this incredible new build project in South Cornwall – curved architecture and contemporary design in a perfect position on the edge of this beautiful estuary. The house demanded and deserved exciting and quality furniture, but the curved nature of many of the walls posed many furnishing problems! It was a wonderful chance to use different suppliers and manufacturers and a chance to create some bespoke and unique items, that worked with the many different shapes and angles of the interior of the house. A sleek, modern, contemporary home emerged and is much loved by the owners.
