Tremayne: land surrounded by rocks

This hidden Cornish hinterland is defined by the nuanced textures of rock peeping through lush vegetation – the green foliage, the golden ripening fields, the iridescent blues and pinks of hydrangeas and the riotous hedgerows.

Tremayne is a historic farm. Whilst the working farm has graduated to more pristine buildings, the original footprint remains and is being carefully restored. I originally came onto the project in 2015 to help with the renovation of a derelict barn, then the farmhouse. The process started with taking stock of where we stood in the landscape : local architecture, ecology, the characteristics of the well-worn materials into which expert craftsmen would breathe new life.
