Canaglaze

Canaglaze is a remarkable project that has transformed the dilapidated and ruined Canaglaze building —made famous by the hit TV show Poldark—into a stunning dwelling, complete with thoughtfully designed extensions. Nestled in the picturesque Bodmin Moor, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this project blends history with modern living while respecting the natural environment.

Project Highlights:

  • Historical Restoration: The restoration process preserved the building’s unique character, carefully reviving its original architectural elements while incorporating modern comforts.
  • Innovative Extensions: The project includes well-designed extensions that are subservient to the original building, enhancing the living space without overshadowing its historical significance, and seamlessly integrating with the surrounding landscape.
  • Scenic Integration: The design reflects a deep respect for the stunning natural setting, ensuring that the dwelling harmonises with the breathtaking views of Bodmin Moor.

This project not only revitalises a piece of local history but also contributes to the conservation of the area, promoting awareness of the buildings local significance. By creating a beautiful dwelling that respects its surroundings, we have enhanced the community and supported the preservation of this extraordinary landscape.
The transformation of Canaglaze into a modern dwelling is a celebration of heritage, innovation, and sustainability. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to creating spaces that honour the past while providing comfort and functionality for the future, all set within the enchanting Bodmin Moor.
