Change of Use / Refebrishment
​
​
Bude Haven House is a thoughtful and sensitive conversion of a long-established guest house into a series of high-quality homes. KS Architecture was appointed to lead the design and planning process for a full Material Change of Use to residential, transforming the former hotel into:
-
One 6-bedroom family dwelling with a self-contained annexe, and
-
Three independent 1-bedroom apartments.
A Conversion of a guest house to a family home and rentals.

Design Response
​
The design approach focused on re-using the existing structure while improving the building’s efficiency, comfort and long-term sustainability. Each new dwelling was carefully planned to maximise natural light, reorganise circulation, and enhance privacy while maintaining the character of the original property.
​
KS Architecture prepared the full planning submission, coordinated supporting documents, and ensured the proposal met all relevant policies for residential conversion within Bude and the wider Cornwall context. The result is a balanced scheme that provides high-quality homes, brings a large building back into meaningful use, and integrates sensitively with the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
​
This project reflects our commitment to revitalising existing buildings, creating sustainable homes, and delivering well-considered design solutions for complex change-of-use applications across Cornwall.
