Simple contemporary contrasting extension to a cottage. Each window reflects a view from inside or through the building. The original cottage was already much extended so we added the open plan light living spaces in contrasting style. Highly insulated timber frame with black Russwood cladding and metal roof. Love it!
Garage Studio : Inverness
Nice little garage and studio in an existing walled garden in Inverness. Just to show that I can do vernacular too!
Oran na Mara Extension
Newly finished extension in Broadford . The original house was tight and narrow and missed out on the fabulous views. So we extended with a pitched roof to match , forming a fab upper studio with picture dormer to sea, and a contemporary wrap around glazed box to bring the panoramic views to the heart of the ground floor. So lovely to see this done and a holiday home changed to a fantastic forever home!
wester achnahanat cottage
renovation and extension to a charming wee cottage. the cottage is being renovated with lime mortar and a red metal roof, leading into a light timber clad extension with extensive use of glazing to frame and embrace the views. The timber clad, zinc roofed extension is reached via a minimal glass link, and is settled into the landscape using a stone base. The elevations and fenestration are a direct response to the views from within , creating an apparently random exterior. The scale, detailing and materials are deliberately pared down to respond to and reflect the simple Scottish vernacular
deeview cottage
deeview cottage was both a renovation of the existing cottage and sizeable contemporary extension . Use of a glazed link creates a respectful separation between old and new, and a modern contrasting approach but using local materials creates a bold new building which still fits well into its setting. The glazed corner opens to the views down the glen to the river dee.
