Elements: A Coastal Home Designed for Living
Perched above the sea in Mawgan Porth, award winning Elements is more than just a house, it’s a vision of what a modern Cornish home can be. Replacing a tired 1930s bungalow, the new dwelling reimagines the site as a place for family life, connection and year-round living.
Where the old property fell short — poorly built, cramped and unsuited to today’s needs — Elements offers light-filled spaces, thoughtful design and a lasting sense of home. The reverse accommodation living provides the very best views. Four bedrooms capture sweeping sea views, while open-plan living brings family and friends together in a generous kitchen, dining and lounge zone. A private rear garden and sheltered terraces create outdoor retreats, perfect for enjoying coastal life no matter the season.
The design balances beauty with practicality. A discreet rear entrance includes a shower for sandy feet or muddy paws, while parking has been carefully reconfigured for ease and privacy. Every decision feels intuitive, enhancing both daily routines and special moments.
Sustainability is woven through the fabric of Elements. From a ground source heat pump and rainwater harvesting to high insulation, triple glazing, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, the home is built for the future — minimising its footprint while maximising comfort. The use of natural materials and soft landscaping ties the property gently to its surroundings, creating a home that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in the Cornish landscape.
Above all, Elements is about belonging. Designed as a lifetime home, it embraces the needs of today and tomorrow, ensuring its owners can grow with it and remain part of the Mawgan Porth community for years to come. It stands as a thoughtful addition to the village — a house that feels at once striking and understated, modern and timeless, private yet connected.
Elements captures the essence of coastal living: space, light and sustainability, all shaped around the rhythms of home and place.
