St Ives, Cornwall
The Kiln House
Where the coastline sets the pace.
Introduction
A New Standard of Living
Positioned above the harbour, The Kiln House is a weathered timber and slate retreat anchored by a singular, expansive living space open to the sea. It offers complete privacy just moments from the working port and the coastal path.

Architecture
Considered from every angle
Exterior Architecture
Dark stained timber and Cornish slate, set low against the coastal wind — a form drawn from the fishing stores that once lined this harbour.
Natural Materials
Reclaimed ship timber, honed slate and blackened steel, chosen to weather further with every season by the sea.
Light
Deep-set, harbour-facing windows and a single roof lantern draw daylight across the great room from dawn until the tide turns.
Landscaping
A salt-tolerant coastal garden of thrift and gorse, planted to hold the ground against the wind rather than resist it.
Privacy
Reached by a private lane above the working harbour, The Kiln House is entirely secluded without a single overlooking window.
Contemporary Design
A quiet reinterpretation of the Cornish kiln and fisherman's store, stripped back rather than restyled.

Designed not to shelter from the sea.
Designed to face it.
Every room at The Kiln House was drawn toward the water — the tide, the working boats, and the changing Cornish light.
