Cornwall Architectural Design Limited
Helston
Cober House, Trenear, Helston, Cornwall, TR13 0ER, Helston
We combine RICS chartered surveying with sustainable architectural design. From historic restorations to modern eco-developments, we help you navigate planning and construction with bespoke, site-specific solutions across Cornwall and the South West.
Bringing Your Cornish Vision to Life
At Cornwall Architectural Design (CAD), we believe your home should do more than just provide shelter—it should inspire you while respecting the unique landscape of the South West. Whether you are looking to breathe new life into a listed Cornish cottage or envisioning a cutting-edge sustainable new build, we bring a rare combination of Chartered Building Surveying and creative architectural design to every project.
We don’t believe in a "house style." Instead, we work closely with you to develop a design that is uniquely right for your site and your lifestyle. From the rugged Lizard Peninsula to the streets of Truro and Falmouth, our work spans:
- Bespoke New Builds: Modern homes that embrace renewable technologies.
- Traditional Restorations: Sympathetic updates to historic and listed properties.
- Specialist Structures: Expertise in oak framing and barn conversions.
Why Our Dual Expertise Matters
Because we are RICS Chartered Surveyors as well as designers, we understand the "bones" of a building. This means our designs aren't just beautiful—they are technically sound and financially viable from the outset.

Navigating Planning and Heritage with Confidence
Securing planning permission or listed building consent in Cornwall can be complex. We take the stress out of the process, using our established knowledge of the local planning regime to advocate for your vision. We provide comprehensive building regulations packages that are bespoke to your project, ensuring your contractor has a clear, accurate roadmap that avoids costly mistakes on-site.
"Ultimately good architecture should transform lives and rejuvenate places."
Sustainable Design for a Fragile Planet
We are passionate about eco-design. Our approach incorporates both established traditional techniques and modern renewable materials. We aim to create buildings that sit comfortably in their surroundings while actively working to reduce their environmental impact.
Peace of Mind Before You Buy
Buying a property or a piece of land is a huge commitment. Our pre-purchase building surveys and "walk and talk" mini-surveys provide the unbiased technical insight you need. Whether you are an international client or a local homeowner, we give you the knowledge to negotiate with confidence or plan your future renovations with clarity.
