Coxburn Brae

Coxburn Brae is situated in Bridge of Allan, just outside of Stirling. The Clients brief evolved around a simple modern two storey energy efficient house in the sloping garden of their existing home.

The new build uses a new approach to a timber kit and joins the evolution of breathing walls to achieve high u-values and air
tightness. Its simple exterior of white render and grey slate allows the building to emerge from its surroundings at the entrance of the street.

The clean crisp exterior is reflected internally and elements of oak and glass create simple yet sharp elements.

The entrance is highlighted with a floor to ceiling oak door with a glazed wall above which creates an inviting warm feeling against the
exterior. As you enter through the front door, a glass floor is situated above allowing light to flood through the two storey hallway. This leads onto a bespoke oak stair with glass that emerges from the stringer. The glazing at the stair allows light to penetrate through the building and unify the entrance.
