Bespoke Architectural Design Across Cornwall

At Studio Elle Architecture, we specialise in designing timeless homes, renovations, and extensions that celebrate Cornwall’s unique coastal and countryside beauty. Whether restoring a historic cottage in St. Ives, extending a seaside retreat in Rock, or designing a contemporary home in Padstow, we create elegant, considered spaces that enhance modern living. In the past, we have worked on an exclusive new-built home (pictured) in Rock - utilising traditional Cornish materials with a Scandinavian twist. Smaller projects include re-modelling or renovations of modest country cottages which we love.
