The Salt Room
Cornwall, England
Information
Granite walls, a slate floor and salt in the air, which rules out most finishes. We specified for the climate first and the look second, and the room ended up better for it.

Scope Of Work
Architectural Planning
The cellar's original openings were reinstated from a 1911 survey drawing rather than invented.
Interior Styling
Untreated granite, waxed steel and linen. Every surface is something salt cannot spoil.
Furniture Specification
Benches in reclaimed pitch pine, built long so strangers share them.
Lighting & Atmosphere
Warm and low. The windows do the work until about four, then the room turns to candles.
Front of house
Shot across two services, before the room filled and once it had.
