Scottish Ruin
Project Details
April 2025
Residential
Completed
A new-build family house set within the footprint of a historic stone ruin, located within the wilds of Scotland.
The raised site of the ruin occupies a commanding view over nearby mountains and rolling landscape. The design preserves as much of the ruin fabric and features as possible, distinguishing starkly between the historic and new structure.
Internally, the layout provides an open-plan modern living area, maximising the views within the constraints of the ruin.
