The Point at Polzeath champions green development for its new holiday apartments

8 Apr 2015
Case study

Seven luxurious bespoke and contemporary holiday apartments are today unveiled at The Point at Polzeath. Laurence Associates have fused modern luxury with ecological design and materials to create a premier destination for the environmentally-conscious traveller.

The apartments consist of four 3-bedroom and three 2-bedroom luxury units, located 250 metres from The Point’s restaurant and health club. The building itself sits within a hill ridge, complete with a sedum roof and Kebony cladding, discretely blending with the surroundings. High quality building materials, including the acclaimed and sustainable alternative to tropical hardwood, Kebony, are used for the cladding and soffits and the stone walls are locally sourced. In addition, ground source heat pumps have been installed, which supply hot water and underfloor heating throughout.

All the apartments feature spacious open plan living areas with floor to ceiling sliding doors, leading onto private terraces with views across the golf course and out to Pentire Point and the sea beyond. They also have private South facing terraces and three of the apartments feature large garden rooms. The finish is contemporary with modern light furniture that has been uniquely designed and ‘up cycled’ and subtle hints of seaside living in the accessories. Stone flooring, wood burners and kitchens that are individually designed and built by a local craftsman complete the bespoke look.

The apartments at The Point, designed to blend in and complement the surrounding landscape, makes the most of a spectacular setting with minimal environmental impact, both in construction and maintenance. The Kebony cladding is exceptionally hard-wearing, tried and tested in the harsh Norwegian climates the material is perfectly placed to resist the sea winds. Over time the material will develop a beautiful silver patina, without the need for expensive and environmentally damaging treatments.

Jason Pledger, Owner and Design Director at Laurence Associates said: “We were pleased to have the opportunity to further champion eco-centric development in line with our company values.  It was of paramount importance to source materials that would enhance our building design; we chose Kebony, a versatile, natural and sustainable material that not only complements the building but blends sensitively into the exposed wider landscape and continues to improve over time.”

Adrian Pye, International Sales Director at Kebony added: “We are yet again delighted to take part in such an eco-friendly development, the apartments look great and we hope they are a welcome retreat for holiday makers for many years to come.”
