This approach to this project was to replace the existing dwelling with a contemporary country home to accommodate a growing family and provide spaces that are comfortable and an interior that is warm and homely. The dwelling has been designed as a collection of pavilions orientated around a central courtyard with a tree-lined formal entryway. The four pavilions comprise a kitchen, living and dining space, guest suite, master bedroom suite with garage and services and a junior suite. The dwelling is orientated towards the beautiful rolling hills and farmland with the main living spaces designed to capture this view and extend into the outdoors. Multiple entertaining areas have been designed to allow the house to be used all year round with a covered area to the north and west and the central courtyard that is protected from the stronger winds containing the pool and spa. The pavilions are connected by links and pockets of garden spaces to allow the seamless transition from inside to out. Passive design principles have been a major factor in the design of the house, ensuring high levels of natural light, specifically designed shaded areas, and a narrow footprint for improved cross-flow ventilation, reducing the reliance on mechanical ventilation. The pool and spa are proposed within the internal courtyard with a terraced area for entertaining and lounging around the pool while being protected from the strong Highland winds. The design allows for a seamless flow from the kitchen to the pool and the north terrace, allowing all spaces to be used simultaneously with those in the central courtyard still able to enjoy the wonderful views to the Northwest.
