This modern residence situated at West Meadows outside the Perthshire village of Longforgan has been designed to afford its owners optimum views of the picturesque landscape in which it is situated. With a mature forest backdrop and extensive views of the Tay valley, glass topped walkway connects the two upper wings of the house and spills light into the centre of the house via a large roof lantern. Its form, which echoes the simple shapes of the Scottish vernacular, creates a minimalist aesthetic that is punctuated by large areas of glazing.
Throughout the house, sightlines are developed that offer glimpses across the spaces and into the garden beyond. The ground floor living spaces – kitchen dining and lounge – revolve around a dark brick fireplace that acts as the centrepiece when entering the house. A palette of white render and glass combined with warm natural hardwoods and ceramic creates a contemporary yet homely interior.
