Award-winning Architectural Designers delivering design excellence throughout Cornwall and Devon

The Bazeley Partnership has been providing architectural services for over 100 years, delivering award-winning design excellence on a wide range of projects throughout Devon, Cornwall and the South West. We put people at the heart of our process and our skill and experience inform designs that are bespoke and crafted. Rather than following a fixed design belief, we take a human approach and create

forms that blend inspiration with practicality. Our guiding principle is contextual design and intrinsic to this is understanding the importance of location. Each project is considered carefully in both its immediate setting and the wider landscape. As a result, we have an excellent track record in obtaining successful planning consents, including those on sensitive and historic sites. The Bazeley Partnership has built a reputation for the quality of its design and execution for all scales of project and stages of work. We are able to provide a seamless transition from concept to reality, or deliver targeted support where needed. In addition, we use a trusted network of professionals and craftsmen to deliver the highest standards of workmanship and expertise.

Five cottages, staggered along the cliff edge — not lined up, not identical, each one angled to hold onto its own share of the view.

At Atlantic View, overlooking the beach at Widemouth Bay, that positioning was resolved before a single cottage was designed. How each unit sits in relation to the next, how far apart, at what angle — all worked out together as one exercise, not five separate decisions.

Get that sequencing right and the results are almost invisible: no cottage blocks another's outlook, no one overlooks their neighbour's terrace, and from above the whole development follows the line of the cliff rather than sitting on top of it.

That's what a masterplan actually gives you — not a bigger drawing, but a scheme that works as a whole from day one.

Understanding the Brief | Building Between Seasons

For many tourism businesses, the quietest months are often the busiest. Between one season ending and the next, there is a valuable opportunity to invest, improve and prepare for the year ahead.

At The Lookout, Widemouth Bay, the client brief was to create high-quality accommodation that would help grow Black Rock as a destination whilst making the most of its exceptional coastal location.

The accommodation needed to meet the expectations of modern holidaymakers, complement neighbouring development and support the continued growth of an established tourism business.

Timing was also an important consideration. New accommodation needed to be ready for the season ahead, making efficient progression through design, planning and technical development essential.

Today, The Lookout forms an integral part of the wider Black Rock brand, helping to create memorable visitor experiences whilst supporting a thriving local business.

Architectural design is not only about creating attractive buildings. It is about understanding a client's ambitions and helping businesses evolve, adapt and grow.

Design Matters | The Buildings Nobody Comes to See

When we think about memorable holidays, we tend to remember the spectacular parts. The beach. The coastal walk. The sea view. The place we stayed.

Yet some of the most heavily used buildings are often the ones nobody comes to see.

At Heligan Caravan and Camping Park and Pentewan Sands Holiday Park, our aim was to create guest facilities that are practical, durable and accessible, whilst reflecting the quality of the wider visitor experience at two of Cornwall's leading Five Star holiday destinations.

From shower and washroom facilities to laundries, drying rooms and utility spaces, these buildings quietly support thousands of visitors every year. They may not feature in the holiday photographs, but they play an important role in ensuring guests can enjoy everything Cornwall has to offer.

The most successful buildings are not always the most prominent. Sometimes their role is simply to make everyday activities more comfortable, intuitive and enjoyable.

Good design matters in every building, even the ones nobody comes to see.

If you're planning improvements to a tourism, leisure or hospitality business, we'd be delighted to help. See more of our commercial projects on our website, or get in touch to discuss your project.

Heritage and Character | Adapting a Listed Cottage

One of the challenges of working with historic buildings is that the qualities we value most are often the very things that make them difficult to adapt.

Smaller rooms, thick masonry walls and a series of distinct spaces contribute to the character of traditional cottages, but they do not always reflect contemporary patterns of living.

At this Grade II Listed cottage overlooking Boscastle Harbour, our aim was to strengthen the relationship between the living and dining spaces while preserving the qualities that make the building special.

A double-sided fireplace became the focal point between the two rooms, creating a stronger connection between the spaces while allowing each to retain its own identity.

Historic buildings continue to evolve long after they are first constructed. The challenge is ensuring each change adds to the story rather than taking away from it.

If you're considering the next chapter for your Listed Building or period property, we'd be delighted to help. See more of our historic projects on our website, or get in touch to discuss your project.

Planning Permission Approved | Farmyard Reimagined

We are delighted to share that planning permission has now been granted for our Farmyard redevelopment project for five new family homes in St Breward, Bodmin Moor.

Securing planning consent is a significant milestone. The journey to approval involved successfully addressing a number of complex planning considerations, including nutrient neutrality, ecological requirements and highways constraints.

The approved scheme will transform a redundant agricultural site into a thoughtfully designed residential development that responds sensitively to its rural setting.

With planning approval now in place, we have moved on to the next stage of the process: Building Regulations, where the design is developed in greater technical detail to prepare for construction.

Indoor–Outdoor Living | Connecting House and Garden

The relationship between internal space and the garden can fundamentally shape how a home is used.

For this town-centre extension in North Cornwall, the existing kitchen was disconnected from an underused and difficult to access garden, with a significant level change preventing any meaningful relationship between the house and external space.

By extending at ground level and re-organising the layout, a direct physical and visual connection was established between the new kitchen and the terrace beyond.

A glazed Crittall wall defines a permeable threshold, allowing natural light to reach deep into the plan while maintaining a clear relationship between inside and outside space. The garden becomes an extension of the living area, a usable outdoor room.

Hard landscaping and planting define a series of smaller, more private external areas, allowing the garden to be used in different ways throughout the day.

Careful attention to levels and circulation ensures the house and garden function together as a cohesive whole, transforming how the space is used throughout the day. This approach contributed to the project receiving a regional LABC award, and being shortlisted for a Build It Award.

If you’re considering extending or adapting your home, we would be pleased to explore how indoor and outdoor spaces can work together more effectively.

Materials Focus | Hempcrete

Material choice shapes how a building performs as much as how it looks.

For this coastal home in Cornwall, hempcrete formed part of a low impact, sustainable design, using material supplied by IsoHemp . Alongside renewable technologies, the focus was on creating a breathable, high performing building fabric from the outset.

Hempcrete provides insulation while allowing moisture to move through the wall construction, helping regulate internal conditions in exposed coastal environments.

These decisions are largely unseen, but they play a significant role in long term performance, durability and efficiency. Careful material selection remains central to our approach to residential architecture in Cornwall.

If you are planning a new home or adapting an existing building, we would be pleased to discuss how material choices can shape the outcome.

Considered Transformation | Central Bude

Planning approval secured for the extension and remodelling of a home in the centre of Bude.

The starting point was a close reading of the existing building, looking beyond its constraints to identify where change would be most effective.

A new first-floor extension over the garage introduces a bedroom suite, while targeted changes at ground level reorganise the layout to improve circulation and day-to-day use. Externally, updated materials and openings refine the overall appearance, with the front of the property reworked to provide additional parking.

Focused on where change matters most, the scheme delivers more useable space and a better-functioning home. We’re pleased to be continuing the project through to Building Regulations.

If you’re exploring ideas for your own home, we’d be glad to talk them through. Get in touch to arrange a free initial consultation.

Light and Ambience | Creating Atmosphere

Natural light plays a central role in shaping how a home is experienced. Through careful window placement, proportion and orientation, daylight can be drawn deep into the plan, creating moments of light and shadow that shift throughout the day and across the seasons.

Windows do more than introduce light. They shape how spaces relate to their surroundings, offering visual connection, awareness of change and a subtle dialogue between inside and out. These quieter decisions influence comfort, wellbeing and the overall character of a home, and sit at the heart of our approach to both new homes and the careful re-working of existing ones.

Whether you are planning a new home or re imagining an existing one, thoughtful use of light can transform how spaces are experienced. We would be happy to explore the possibilities with you.
