Contemporary Home
Ponsanooth, Cornwall
A low-lying, single-storey home designed with a clear east–west orientation to optimise natural light and support passive solar gain. This careful arrangement contributes to a high-performance, energy-efficient dwelling that feels both modern and grounded in its landscape.
Accessed centrally from the south, the internal layout is organised with practicality and comfort in mind: a utility room and bathroom are positioned to the north, while bedrooms to the east capture the morning sun. To the west, an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area opens out onto a balcony through large glazed doors, providing expansive views and evening light.
The home’s crisp, rectilinear form and minimal material palette reflect a contemporary architectural language, while its orientation and layout are deeply responsive to the site and climate.
This project was designed by KAST Architects. I contributed to the design and produced the visualisation while working at the practice.
