HOUSE IN PERTHSHIRE
This house was originally designed as an ensemble of two complementary houses for two grown up sisters and their families.
The houses derive their form from traditional narrow plan Highland longhouses, with characteristic thick stone walls and steeply pitch roofs. The houses are arranged concentrically to establish a new edge to the hamlet around a rock outcrop retained as a landscape feature.
The accommodation is contained between two parallel rough drystone walls, which act as a rainscreen cladding, and extend to provide enclosure and privacy for external spaces.
Locally sourced materials include field stone, unfinished oak cladding boards, open timber trusses, red corrugated sheet and frameless glass roofing.
