Praa Sands Renovation

From Tired Bungalow to Sleek Eco Home

As principal contractor, we oversaw the full design and build of this transformational retrofit on the stunning West coast of Cornwall. Once a dated, heat-leaking bungalow powered by an ageing oil tank perched on the terrace, the property is now a sleek, Scandinavian-inspired eco home — warm, efficient, and future-ready.

Working closely with the clients, we helped shape every aspect of the interior scheme — from developing a detailed paint schedule to the careful selection of fixtures and fittings. Sam collaborated with the homeowners to design and build bespoke cabinetry throughout the home, including a custom plywood kitchen and utility area that balances modern functionality with minimalist charm.

The project focused on both performance and sustainability. We fully re-insulated the building, installed triple-glazed windows, and integrated renewable power and low-carbon heating systems. A refined, low-impact interior design package brought the vision to life, combining natural materials and clean lines to echo both the surrounding landscape and Scandinavian design influences.

The result is a timeless, high-performing home — thoughtfully crafted for modern coastal living.
