Planning Application for a Contemporary Country House in Angus.

The considered design solution proposes the new house will be a new Country House that will mirror many local historic references from the past. The house is entered via a new courtyard that provides security and shelter from the elements. From this courtyard access to the house is through a standalone Main Entrance door. In addition, there is access to separate physical elements such as the annexed apartment (staff quarters) and a quadruple garage (stable block). There is also [...]

New House, Tayport.

We have been working on the concept design for a new house on a fantastic site on the Fife coast. It has a traditional ‘gable end’ form facing the sea which is fully glazed to maximise the views and allow lots of natural light into the space.  

Ingleside Planning Approval Granted.

We have received notification that we have been granted Planning Approval for this alteration and extension to an existing office facility in Dundee. Our original application was refused and then we were unsuccessful with our review. We amended the proposal and resubmitted. Finally, we got what we wanted.

Design Development – Duncarse House

“Design Development” is all part of the process. Having designed and obtained Planning and Listed Building Approval for the alterations to this listed stone villa alteration in the West End of Dundee, our client has asked us to explore the possibility of extending further now that we have determined that the existing ground conditions allow. Taking the opportunity where conditions, aspiration and budget allow is a great thing. And you could end up with something that looks like it [...]

House extension, Wormit, now complete.

We have completed this domestic alteration to a fine stone villa in Wormit, Fife. The house is situated high above the south end of the Tay Rail Bridge and has incredible views towards Dundee to the north, the Firth of Tay to the east and west towards Perth over The Carse of Gowrie. It is a beautiful location and this extension has been designed in such a way to make the most of the site’s aspect. We are very [...]

New Contemporary Country House

We have been working up the design and detail for our “Contemporary Country House” and met with our clients this morning to discuss the developed design. They loved it and the feedback was extremely positive. We have created a 3d rendered model of the house and we were able to “walk-through” the entire house visiting each space and each room in turn. This allowed our client to experience the joy long before the house is complete. The site is located [...]
