🏘️ Check out the design for these striking family homes in Cornwall, which combine traditional materials with modern forms!nnThe Cornish vernacular has a rich history of using natural slate, which is an important element in the character of many historic local buildings, giving towns and villages their sense of place. nnFor this proposed contemporary development, we specified hung slate. The dark slate, with its rich natural colouring and tightly grained appearance, provides a striking contrast with the warmth of the vertical timber cladding. The use of natural materials blends with the verdant surroundings.nnThe plans are for a mix of detached 4-bed homes, and affordable semi-detached properties.nnWhile traditionally Slate is often used in positions of very severe exposure to wind-driven rain, such as on high open ground facing the prevailing wind, and on the coast facing open sea, one of the primary benefits associated with the material in modern architecture, is its undeniable aesthetic appeal. nnSlate also offers a high degree of fire protection and durability and requires little to no maintenance, making it a great choice for exterior walls! nnThe design shows how a love of tradition does not have to exclude modern sensibility.nn#BRLarchitects #NewBuild #Planning #Slate #Cornwall #Beautiful...
