Renovation Porthmeor Studios St Ives Cornwall

Part 2 of the videos Renovation Porthmeor Studios St Ives: explains the historical and current importance to the artist community in St Ives of the Portmeor Studios. The video explains the long-standing connection between the artists and the fisherman who share the building and the repairs that are required due to the damage caused by the marine environment in which it sits overlooking Porthmeor beach.

One of the challenges in restoring such a building where the material has to be replaced is to do so and retain as much as possible the original feel and nature of the building that was an integral part of the artistic community that used it.

Renovation Porthmeor Studios St Ives Project
The project, on Porthmeor Beach near the Tate St Ives, includes the repair and restoration of the well-known historic artists the studios and School of Painting, as well as fishermen’s cellars. It is a Grade II listed building. Improvements involve adding acoustic, fire, and thermal insulation, all respecting its architectural character and its status as a listed building.
