House in Blackness

Bergmark Architects have completed a refurbishment and extension to a smallholding cottage on a spectacular hillside location near Blackness, Linlithgow. The existing cottage has been turned into four bedrooms, bathrooms and a study which has been linked to a new wing containing the public rooms. An enfilade of living room, kitchen-dining room and family room face to the West and wall-to-wall glazing provide spectacular views of the surrounding fields and the Firth of Forth beyond.

The new and old parts of the building, together with the glazed link in between, form a south facing courtyard between the building blocks.
