a victorian marvel
A transformation from tired old house to period palace
WELCOME TO MARRAUM
From the glimmer of an idea to the stroke of a pencil, the first turn of a door handle to the flickering of a smile across a face, at Marraum we bring more to your space – and take your story beyond its walls.
And we begin with you. Because at the heart of each architecture project – studio spaces, private loft conversions, commercial builds or building that dream home – are the people who use it.
They’re the yawns that stretch to eye-widening views in the morning. They’re the feet feeling cool concrete underfoot. They’re the eyes looking for inspiration at their desks. And the shoulders that hunker down in the evening. These are the people whose surroundings bring more to each and every experience.
With years of architecture and design experience in both Cornwall and further afield – paired with aesthetic drive, strong ethics and constant curiosity – we know how to make space work harder for you.So from beginning, middle and end – discover how you can bring your own story of space to life.
THE BRIEF
The brief was to create a mix of modern and traditional, opening up the full beauty of the spaces again and marrying the new extension with the Victorian detailing in the house.
We worked within the constraints of this being a listed building, liaising with planning and renovating sympathetically, whilst giving the client elegant new spaces to live in.
THE INTERPRETATION
"We enjoyed this project so much, we are now working on another project with Vanessa and Donny"

THE OUTCOME
From dank and dreary this property has been transformed into a beautiful and spacious period home, drawing inspiration from the elegance and quality of the front exterior and reception rooms.
The client has finished the spaces with a nod to the industrial and maritime past that’s tied in with Falmouth and their home.
