From the outset the practice was set up to work for the client, and to work in sympathy with the landscape and the local architecture.
We are fortunate in Perthshire to work in some of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain, with a traditional architecture that enhances rather than competes with the landscape.
In continuing a tradition, with room for individual expression, the practice seeks to maintain and improve this balance and retain a regional identity.
From the very first projects the practice has built almost exclusively in timber frame, which is energy efficient, sustainable, and economical.

After looking for a site in Perthshire to build our own house for a couple of years, Helen found this elevated site 1 mile from Bankfoot, with long ranging views in all directions.
The site was sold with Planning Permission to demolish the existing ruinous steading and the less ruinous cottage.
We chose to keep and develop the cottage along with our new build house, a future timber garage building would complete a courtyard facing south.
The best views and the evening sun are in the west and the main public rooms of the house are orientated in this direction leading onto covered verandas, an influence from New England on an otherwise Scottish exterior.

Our brief on this project was to extend to the rear of a house on an unpretentious street, to provide a new kitchen/diningroom with 2 bedrooms over.
A simple design, larch clad and with an aluminium standing seam roof was achieved for the very tight budget of 52,000.
Modern and bright the extension is a great asset to the house and does not feel in any way compromised by having been designed to a budget.
