Strathblane House
Stirlingshire
2004
6 month traditional contract ·
An mature suburban house on a hill above the village of Strathblane, to the North-West of Glasgow. The existing house has a pretty, almost cottage-like front set amongst mature planting. To the rear the house was abruptly terminated by a less than attractive back elevation which sliced off its basic pyramidal form. The project sought to recongifure the back of the house in such as a way as to recapture a relationship with the garden and exploit the majestic backdrop of the Campsie Fells beyond. The remodelling of the house was thus every bit as much about its landscaped exterior as it was about the internal rooms. Any architectural event - window, loggia, chimney or wall - plays a role in the formation and sequence of outdoor space as well as indoor.
