Gyllyngdune Gardens & Princess Pavillion, Falmouth

This project is in progress and needs updating. The images displayed may not reflect current design intentions and information may not be accurate.


The Princess Pavilion is a venue for concerts, lectures, and other gatherings in Falmouth. It was built in the early 20th century in the walled garden of an adjacent villa, and the garden is a remarkable period piece which includes shell grottos and pavilions overlooking the sea. The formal garden immediately next to the Pavilion includes a glazed perimeter verandah which had fallen into serious disrepair.

We designed and supervised the reconstruction of the verandah which opened in 2005, and are now working on a series of improvements to both the pavilion and the garden which was the subject of a successful Stage 1 application to the Heritage Lottery Fund.
