NEW BUILDS

In this case study, our client approached us with a distinct vision for their upcoming new build house. Having previously engaged two other architectural agents without success, Dawn and George were determined to see their dream home realised. Drawing inspiration from their time in America, where they admired houses featuring wraparound porches, open plan living, and shiplap cladding, our challenge was to adapt these elements to the unique context of the northeast of Scotland.

Fortunately, working with clients who have a well-defined vision is a tremendous advantage. We swiftly translated their ideas into tangible designs, meeting not only their aspirations but also aligning with the requirements of local planning authorities. The final outcome is a stunning residence, complete with a home office affording picturesque views, a ground floor master suite that enhances the property's long-term viability, and an array of distinctive features, such as an outdoor kitchen and a dedicated space for the couple's two cockapoos.

However, our client's vision extended beyond the main dwelling, encompassing a detached garage with a unique twist. They desired a versatile space that not only housed their vehicles but also provided dedicated guest accommodations with a kitchenette on the upper level.
