At Boaz Studio, we’re transforming a historic coach house conversion in a small Cornish village. This high-end conversion blends the building’s original character with a modern, minimalist design. We’re aiming to complete the project by the end of the year, focusing on balancing heritage with contemporary living.
The design follows the concept of ‘raw minimalism’—a style that highlights natural textures and simple, honest materials. Exposed timber beams, polished concrete floors, and handcrafted joinery not only bring warmth and character to the space, but also help keep it understated and elegant.
A coach house conversion comes with its challenges, from working with quirky layouts to respecting the existing architecture. We’re preserving the original charm of the building, while simultaneously making it a comfortable, practical home. Moreover, thoughtful material choices and carefully considered details will work together to create a space that feels both timeless and refined.
Sustainability is key to our work. In this project, we’re specifying products from local, sustainable, and ethical suppliers, from the specialist plasterwork to the furniture. We make every decision with longevity in mind, which ultimately ensures that the home remains both eco-friendly and built to last.
We can’t wait to see this transformation take shape. Keep an eye on Boaz Studio for updates on this project and more sustainable, design-led spaces that celebrate Cornwall’s heritage.
We used Boaz Studio as we needed some help reimagining our lounge after moving in just before having our first child. Our house wasn't working for us and our toddler. Stephen is so approachable and friendly and really listens. He's keen to understand what your needs and wants are as a client and then has an amazing way of turning that into something beautiful, practical, and personal. I am so impressed and would highly recommend Boaz Studio. On top of that, they're really professional, and communication is easy.
Stephen managed to build a true understanding of what we wanted and embed that in his conceptual designs. When we first saw those designs for a fresh and contemporary take on the heritage library, we knew that we would be creating something special.
I found boaz studio to be the perfect combination of design ideas and down to earth sense. They opened my eyes to aspects I hadn’t considered and delt with problems in creative ways.
You have been incredibly instrumental in the first part of this project and given us inspiration on how best to utilise our space, giving us vision on layout, design, style and colours. You are very skilled at what you do !!
Boaz Studio came in to advise on the complete refurbishment of the communal space here at Sunley Orford House, a purpose-built block of quality retirement housing in the centre of Truro. Having listened thoroughly to the design brief he provided well thought out advice on materials, colours and decoration with options that not only bring a more contemporary feel but will revitalise the space for the future. His thought and attention to detail was appreciated by all involved.
We worked with Boaz Studio to plan our two-storey extension and associated alterations to our house. We couldn't have done it without them, they were brilliant! Their thoughtful designs really made the most of the spaces, not only in terms of furnishings and decor but also really useful advice about positioning for doors and windows. Stephen and Alice are both fabulous at what they do and really lovely to work with. Highly recommended!
Boaz provided layouts and concept interior designs for our new home, and the results were fantastic: they managed to somehow provide us with something completely unexpected that was completely our style and what we wanted. We feel so much more confident managing the building work and decorating now, and can't wait to see it finished. Highly recommended.
Stephen and Alice worked with us to produce a design for the interior of our coffee house - their ability to bring together all of our different needs and ideas into one unified concept was fantastic - they have knack for drawing out the most efficient use of whatever space they're working with. First class.
