Built as a barn and originally altered by the Practice to form a gallery in the 1980s, the bothy was insulated and lined internally to create a habitable living space for use as a holiday let with a new timber framed extension housing an attractive bedroom and bathroom.

This extension to an existing mews building is a mix traditional and modern. It is constructed with local material and a traditional crucked frame.

Designing a flexible and major extension to provide for independent living to an unspoilt Grade A Listed Building is not a simple task.

The design of this family house is based on capturing a magnificent view whilst nestling into an ancient landscape. This is achieved through careful siting, a sensitive broken form, turf roofs, colour and landscaping.

Located in a picturesque part of the highlands, this traditional single storey stone cottage was in a poor state of repair and hadn’t been used for some years. The brief was for a retirement home with 2 bedrooms and good storage.

These eight houses for Barra & Vatersay Housing Association were the product of a year-long community consultation process undertaken by the Practice and Housing Association.

Attached to a 1930’s family house this highly insulated open plan room accommodates a spacious kitchen and areas for sitting and dining.

The Brief was to provide generous storage in a main principal room within a converted and sub-divided Category A Listed country house.

The design transforms a dark and unusually shaped back kitchen. This was achieved by making two distinct and characterful areas; a kitchen and dining space.
