The house is conceived as a series of distinct volumes, separating the home’s functions and linked by glazed corridors and covered walkways. This configuration allows the building to occupy the full plot, creating external spaces that blur the boundaries between interior and garden. The layout not only provides the desired sense of privacy but also maximises the sunlight throughout the day, enhancing the home’s passive solar gain as part of its sustainable design.
Materiality plays a central role in the home’s grounded yet refined aesthetic. Locally sourced stone and narrow-board blackened timber cladding lend the exterior a restrained, natural aesthetic. Internally the private spaces are intimate by design, while the social areas open up into expansive vaulted ceilings, offering a sense of volume and light that contrasts beautifully with the more enclosed areas.
A sleek black steel colonnade runs the length of the site, acting as a connective spine that links the home’s various elements. This feature begins with a covered parking area and an outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day of paddleboarding nearby—then continues to the whisky room at the far end of the property. This intimate space houses the clients’ extensive whisky collection and serves as a private retreat for tastings and gatherings, offering yet another layer of the home’s thoughtful design.
"Brown & Brown listened closely to what we wanted and have created a marvel of stone, wood, glass and light nestled into the plot as if it had always been there "

We are increasingly asked to complete the interior design of a building. For us, this is an obvious step to ensuring the space blends with the landscape, from the inside out. Selecting complimentary materials, fixtures and furnishings that ebb and flow throughout the building is considered not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of the design process.
