Fasnakyle

Fasnakyle is a new build private dwelling in Argaty, Stirlingshire. The site straddles a geographical fault line which produces a significant change in level and forms a linear ridge across the site which gives way to a rolling pastoral landscape view. This dramatic natural feature provided the key influence for the project whereby the house is conceived as two monolithic blocks of stone eased apart to leave a lightweight entrance & circulation gap between the parted blocks. Bedrooms and ancillary spaces are contained within one block with the main living space in the other.

Private House in the Grange

Located within Edinburgh’s Grange Conservation Area this project involved the complete refurbishment of a two storey detached stone villa and the addition of a new contemporary open plan extension to the rear. Natural daylight now floods in to the existing building which has been significantly reconfigured to suit a modern family lifestyle.

The detailing of the extension is clean and refined with two stone blocks echoing the form of the original building outshoots. The mass of these is tempered by the inclusion of a minimalist structural glass enclosure over the dining room that opens the building up seamlessly onto the beautifully landscaped garden.
