House at Byres of Airleywright

The starting point for this project was the site which has long-ranging views in all directions particularly to the West. The house was designed to take advantage of these views and to sit sypatheticaly and modestly in the landsacape.

The design reflects the local rural architecture but with a degree of freedom and an acknowledged influence from New England.

Externally the palette is; Burlington slate, cast iron gutters, Scottish larch, and wet dash render. Internally oak and slate floors unite the
interlinked public spaces. Morso woodburning stoves, painted panelling and oak staircase, create a robust and comfortable family home.
