St Piran’s Day 2026 - Celebrating Cornwall’s Heritage

Today we celebrate St Piran’s Day and recognise the heritage, identity and enduring spirit of.

As a practice based in Cornwall, our work is continually shaped by the county’s distinctive character. Its landscape, historic settlements and strong cultural identity inform our approach to design and placemaking. We are privileged to contribute to projects that support local communities, businesses and the built environment across the region.

St Piran’s Day provides an opportunity to reflect on Cornwall’s rich history and to acknowledge the responsibility we share in helping to shape its future with care and respect. We remain committed to delivering thoughtful, sustainable design that responds to context and enhances the places people value most.

We extend our thanks to our clients, collaborators and communities who continue to place their trust in us. We are proud to live and work in Cornwall and to play a part in its ongoing story.
