Architectural design & build in The Lizard

The Lizard is the southernmost village in mainland Britain, sitting on the AONB headland with serpentine geology, a working lighthouse and a tight Conservation Area at the village green. Conservation Area, AONB and Heritage Coast all apply; coastal cliff exposure and views from the South West Coast Path are weighed heavily. Serpentine quarrying heritage adds a further design layer.
