Following the Best Use of Timber Awards exhibition in Glasgow, our project to convert a ruined stone steading to holiday accommodation has been featured in the Architects’ Journal.
The New Steading rises from the ruined walls of a stone farm building in a secluded Scottish glen. The lightweight, timber structure is clad in rugged, wide format oak boards, cut from the clients’ own tree, that will silver down to complement the dark grey of the enclosing stone walls and the adjacent shepherd’s cottage. The new building provides additional daytime accommodation for a family holiday-home where the extended family can seek refuge from one another or keep cosy together by the log stove and enjoy the expansive views of mountain, loch and glen.
