Hebron

Portholland, Cornwall, UK

Hebron is an exciting development opportunity in the heart of the Roseland Peninsular under one mile from the sea and sandy beaches. Planning consent has been granted for a spectacular and large oak framed house in the centre of the plot extending to greater than one acre. Opportunities like this just do not exist in this highly sought after area which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Indeed Portholland has recently been declared a National Heritage Asset.

The new dwelling carefully reflects the architecture of timber framed buildings of a past era without becoming a contrived pastiche. Through the use of heavy sectional timber as both posts and beams, and in conjunction with brackets and bracing, an aesthetically appealing design for the new home is achieved.

Today’s timber frame (post and beam structure) homes are historical (medieval/Tudor) and contemporary, relevant and vigorous. Flexible in design and inherently beautiful, they give evidence to the fact that the centuries old craft of timber framing has returned as a practical and environmentally sensitive form of building.

A modern timber frame is like a large piece of furniture, intended to be both visible and appreciated. One of the most appealing aspects of the modern timber frame is the quality and variety of its spaces. Whilst the exterior can be designed to resemble historical vernacular architecture, the interior is always a unique and personalised work of art. Interior spaces can be open, airy and light filled, made mode comfortable by the warmth of the timbers.
