We are the only supplier of Caradon Cornish Granite. This stone, known for high durability and beautiful colour hues, has been quarried on Bodmin Moor since at least the mid 1800s.
We aim to produce this product as sustainably as possible. We use only the previous quarry workings so very little energy is required to win the material from the ground; the stone is cut using 100% renewable energy, and our water system recycles quarry water throughout the cutting process.

HISTORICAL CORNISH GRANITE MEETS MODERN BUILD
Nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque Dartmoor National Park, DJA Design unveils a remarkable concept for a cutting-edge 4-bedroom residence that seamlessly blends with the rugged topography, celebrating the rural landscape and breathtaking vistas. The dwelling gracefully cascades down the hillside, presenting a single-storey facade to the front, integrating harmoniously with the natural contours of the land.
At the pinnacle of the structure, the uppermost floor hosts living spaces adorned with expansive wall-to-wall glazing, capitalizing on the panoramic views that stretch before it. External elements such as granite stone and charred timber cladding converge to form a natural palette, perfectly complementing the surrounding rural environment. This thoughtful material selection not only enhances the dwelling’s aesthetic appeal but also ensures it remains in symbiosis with its idyllic setting, blending modernity with the raw beauty of Dartmoor’s landscape
