We have a long standing relationship with our friends from ARCO2 who specialise in sustainable and self-sufficient buildings. Featherbeds makes use of its rather unusual situation in a narrow valley with running water surrounded by beautiful Cornish woodland and a private lake. We enjoyed having a lot to do with the build on this project including supplying Natural Puddling Clay to waterproof the organic swimming pool. The main external skin is a lovely mix of stone from a variety of Cornish quarries which flows through into feature walls internally. ARCO2 have used Black Opet Tumbled Limestone on the floors and Comfort Galarno and Tumbled Bergamo in the open plan living, kitchen, dining and sunken TV area. These lovely inside spaces flow out into a Millboard deck and Ash Black Granite patio area which provides perfect access to the private lake. This must be one of the most versatile and amazing homes for a young family with many amenities.
