Bol Y Maer Luxury Apartments
Bol y Maer luxury apartments are located in the heart of Bude, Cornwall. With stunning sea views and a short walk to Bude beach, this prestigious new development is exquisitely styled, with an impressive private swimming pool.
Metters and Wellby Architects were instructed at the start of this project, and oversaw the project until completion. Metters and Wellby Architects produced concept architectural plans, created 3D renders and produced documents needed to achieve planning permission. We then managed the design elements pf the construction phase, working closely with the project team to ensure a stunning finished design.
The apartments have replaced two tired 1970's bungalows and have transformed the plot into eight contemporary luxury apartments.
The striking contemporary swimming pool features a reflective ceiling, which cascades light through the room. The swimming pool makes the apartments highly appealing to the luxury holiday rental market.

Metters and Wellby Architects secured planning permission for this expansive agricultural barn conversion in Cornwall. We worked closely with the client, completing the full architectural design plans and layout plans, as well as all technical details and building regulation drawings.
Once planning permission had been granted, our client, a contractor and self builder, managed the construction phase.
The design intentionally blends contemporary finishes with traditional features. We ensured to showcase the barn's original elements, exposing the traditional truss roof structure and stone walls, complimented by a modern open plan living spaces.
Large glazed openings maximise the expansive views of the Cornish countryside. The stunning grounds surrounding the property and addition of a hot tub provides a luxury haven in the Cornish countryside.
Tregarthens is a traditional cottage set within the idyllic Cornish Countryside, on the outskirts of Bude Cornwall.
The brief to Metters and Wellby Architects was to create a traditional extension, with modern element, creating more space and a larger living area for the client.
The gorgeous extension, uses traditional finishes, including soft wood tones, exposed beams and large openings that lead onto the decking area and gardens beyond.
The timeless design perfectly complements the original cottage. The wooden floors transition smoothly from the internal living area, to the outside decking space.
Incorporating a modern open-plan living space, with traditional interior finishes, including an oak floor, wooden effect framed windows, and a traditional kitchen, the result is a homely and cosy space to relax.
Metters and Wellby achieved planning permission for side and rear extensions on the ground level to the existing dwelling at Rosehip Cottage, Breakwater Road.
The extension required full planning approval as the cottage is located in the Bude conservation area.
The new extension used traditional materials with a painted render finish and slate roof, complementing the existing dwelling and respecting the original forms whilst providing a more functional space for the client. The glazed roof draws light into the heart of the building and gives views up to the high level garden space.
This modest yet practical extension has transformed the internal layout of the cottage whilst ensuring negligible impact to the conservation area on Breakwater Road.
Metters and Wellby Architects achieved planning permission for this large family home, in Launceston, Cornwall, in 2020.
We were briefed to design a four-bedroom family home, with a large open plan living space, plus annex accommodation. The client wanted a contemporary style, with simple, but dramatic architectural features.
The sizeable open plan living area overlooks the external patio, providing a bright and airy living space with views of the Cornish countryside.
Outside boasts a luxurious tiered decking area, with a sunken hot tub that has far reaching views. The hot tub is positioned under a stylish louvered pergoloa style structure that provides sun and shade.
The rear of the property features large windows that are positioned purposely to maximise the views of the Cornish countryside. The windows flood the internal space with natural light and views from the south east aspect.
The annex needed to be linked to the main house but with a distinct separation, and also required an open plan living area, a bedroom with storage, wet room and sewing room.
The annex has a private terrace within the sun path, creating a gorgeous private area. A large vaulted ceiling internally provides a dramatic effect to the living space, with a mezzanine floor that accommodates the sewing room.
