New-Build Family House
Completed January 2006
The site is a compact, private, rear garden of an existing house, and is enclosed by old stone walls. We positioned the house at the north of the site, and designed it as a T shape, to create privacy to the south facing garden areas.
The ground floor is wholly open plan, in which all living areas have large glazed screens opening onto the terrace. The dining area is double height with full height glazing and a three sided open gallery at first floor level. The master bedroom faces north with large sliding corner windows and a balcony giving views to the Firth of Forth.
The house is of timber frame construction, highly insulated, with high performance aluminium windows, and has underfloor heating throughout both floors. |
