Project
Located on the grounds of a listed building known as Withiel House, The Mowhay was previously used as the house stables. Mrs Jarrett converted the dilapidated barn, into her new home and to host visiting guests.
Built for Lifestyle
A home built around your needs and lifestyle is a strong theme in ARCO2’s architecture and is a design focus in this project.
