Private client looking to create more space for their growing family. We worked closely with the client and planning department to develop this extension and renovation project.

Client: Private

Role: Architect / Engineer

Our brief was to design a house similar to the one it replaced, as an homage to the client’s happy memories. Built in timber frame with a natural stone cladding and West Highland slate, this low energy design was positioned to maximise solar gain, with a high thermal performance for the envelope and a biomass heating system providing a heat source from renewables as opposed to fossil fuels.

This was an old Speirs of Glasgow early 20th Century former church. These were built using a prefabricated form of construction, with an internal timber frame with an external cladding of corrugated iron, or “wriggly tin”, which our client wished to convert to a dwelling whilst also undertaking a sensitive repair and restoration scheme to preserve the character of the building. This project was featured on Channel 5’s programme ‘Build a New Life in the Country’.

Client: Caskiey Estates

Our role: Architect / Engineer

Shore Cottage had been poorly and insensitively extended in the 1970s and had since fallen into a derelict state. With its location immediately adjacent to the shore, an unspoilt view over Carskiey Bay, together with its lack of vehicular access, the new owners of the estate were keen to make use of its potential.

The original extension was demolished and new extensions added. The old pebble dash harling was replaced with a new harling and skews were reinstated to the roofs, together with west highland slate. Internally, the building was opened up to provide more modern living arrangements as well as being completely renovated. The existing window openings were carefully enlarged in sympathetic proportions to take advantage of the light and views.

This former school, subsequently converted to a house, lacked a good-sized, lightsome room that would serve as a family hub for the owners, and so asked us to come up with a design and obtain Planning Permission and Building warrant to extend the house. To complement the existing building’s rubble masonry, a Scottish Larch cladding was specified for the extension. As the cladding weathers, it will develop a silver patina that “settles” the extension into its surroundings.

Our client, who had recently purchased this dilapidated house, wanted our input for the complete renovation and extension of the house. To take advantage of the views and light, the main kitchen and living accommodation was put on the top floor, with a timber clad porch to the front added to give some interest to the front elevation and provide additional accommodation. To the rear, a larger timber clad extension was added to house the upper kitchen and sanitary accommodation to the ground floor.

Client: Private

Our Role: Architect / Engineer

We designed a subtle and sympathetic extension to the south gable and to the rear, which would look traditional, almost original, and used similar proportions to the original main house.

Client: Killean Estate

Working alongside the client, Occupational Health, Argyll and Bute Council Housing Services and Argyll and Bute Care and Repair we brought this project together and allowed our clients to make their home more accessible giving them full access to and from their home.
