Newham based CSA Architects transform run-down holiday cabin into contemporary seaside chalet

A leading Cornish architect firm is behind a unique project which has transformed a run-down holiday cabin into a contemporary seaside chalet.

CSA Architects, based in Heron Way, Newham, took on the challenging project at Hayle Towans on an exposed site that could be accessed only from a single path above the building.

The original 1930s chalet had been bought by a family who wanted to replace it and create a stylish cliffside retreat for their own holidays and for other people to enjoy.

The team at CSA Architects had to negotiate tightly controlled design restrictions because the chalet is on the edge of a holiday park. In addition, building work was limited to just a few months of the year, between November and Easter.

Despite the challenges, the project was finished last year and the striking building, with its natural tones and dark shades that blend into the surroundings, is now a much-loved holiday home – with an incredible outlook.

The entire front of the property showcases the view, with wrap-around corner glazing to extend the panorama.

CSA Director Susan Kinver said: “This successful collaboration between client, architect and contractor resulted in a well-appointed property with high-end, carefully considered finishes inside and out, maximising the stunning views.”
