Interior Renovations

Interior renovations transform existing spaces to improve flow, usability, and comfort. RAS focuses on redesigning kitchens, living areas, bathrooms, and multi-purpose spaces while retaining key architectural features.

Our approach includes reconfiguring layouts, optimising storage, and updating finishes to suit modern lifestyles. By integrating practical solutions with design aesthetics, interiors become more functional, efficient, and enjoyable to live in.

Interior renovations may also involve adapting lighting, acoustics, or circulation paths to enhance daily living. Careful planning ensures minimal disruption during construction and compliance with safety standards.

Whether modernising a historic property or refreshing a contemporary home, RAS helps clients achieve interiors that reflect their style and meet practical requirements, adding long-term value.

Structural Upgrades

Renovation often requires structural improvements to support new layouts or restore stability. RAS assesses existing conditions and designs safe, compliant solutions including beam replacements, foundation repairs, or floor modifications.

Structural interventions are carefully planned to minimise disruption while ensuring the building remains sound and secure. Detailed drawings and professional oversight allow contractors to work efficiently and confidently.

By addressing underlying structural issues, clients can achieve functional and attractive interiors while meeting building regulations and maintaining safety. This ensures the longevity and resilience of the property.

Energy & Sustainability

Modern renovations can improve a building’s energy efficiency and environmental performance. RAS integrates sustainable materials, insulation, ventilation, and efficient systems to reduce running costs and enhance comfort.

Energy-focused renovations comply with Building Regulations and can include updated heating, improved thermal performance, and low-impact materials. These measures make older properties more comfortable, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective to operate.

Combining sustainability with design ensures that renovation projects are practical, forward-looking, and aligned with modern living expectations.

Heritage Renovations

Historic or character properties require sensitive renovation to protect original features while meeting contemporary needs. RAS carefully balances conservation with modern functionality in Cornwall.

This includes updating interiors, improving comfort, and integrating new services while respecting heritage elements like decorative moldings, timber beams, and external façades. Heritage renovations often require liaison with planning authorities and conservation officers.

Through meticulous design and thoughtful planning, RAS delivers renovations that preserve the charm, historical significance, and value of the property while providing modern living standards.
