Unbuilt.
Not every project makes it to site.
Here’s a look at a handful of KAST’s unrealised Cornish house projects, and the design rationale behind them.
1 & 2. House on the Lizard - A zinc-roofed timber barn, orientated toward the sea, the glazed link between buildings frames the view and a garden room within, with a carport incorporated into the overall form.
3 & 4. Helford House - Timber and stone volumes arranged as a contemporary Cornish farmstead.
5. Shingle Cottage - An aerial view of the proposed shingle clad extension and studio propped to compliment the existing stone cottage on a creekside quay. Rooflights funnel light into spaces otherwise shaded by the dense surrounding woodland.
6. House near Godolphin - Set against the back drop of Godolphin Hill, a new timber extension is connected link to the existing traditional granite barn via a flat roofed, timber topped entrance space.
7. Carlyon Bay - A contemporary house on a sloped plot, the dark upper storey floats above a stone plinth, open to far reaching south coast views.
