Briongos MacKinnon House
Strathaven Airfield is the oldest continually used airstrip in Scotland. It is now a busy and active centre for micro-lighting and the owners commissioned Richard Murphy Architects to design a house for themselves to be situated parallel to the runway. To allow for maximum supervision and minimum invasion of privacy, the main rooms of the house are on the first floor with only a garage and extra bedrooms on the ground floor. The structure is a simple cantilevered steel frame and the roof and wall cladding is mill-finished corrugated aluminium, a material which resonates with local farm cladding and indeed the cladding of the adjacent hangars.
