LEAMNAMUIC
The client purchased an area of ground, approximately 100 acres, from the forestry commission. The trees have been recently felled and only stumps remained.
The brief was to design a house which would maximise the views of west loch tarbert. The planners did not want a house that would stand out and the design using local stone and slate took this into account.
The use of a local contractor was essential and the design had to incorporate accommodation for three irish hounds.
I feel that by using local materials the house has blended into the landscape with appreciative comments from the client and the planners.
