49 Old Evanton Road Extension and Renovation

Situated in an elevated south facing site in the town of Dingwall the project brief was simple: transform an aging two bedroom 1960’s bungalow into a modern house. With the requirement for three dimensional space, natural light and a modern feel.

Retaining the original structure of the house the 1 ½ storey extension was constructed from a steel frame to allow free spanning structure and double height void space to the entrance hall / living area. Traditional external materials where juxtaposed with the modern slant on the main gable, whilst the existing building was tied in to the new by replicating the gable form and re-roofing throughout in slate.
Interior where largely kept simple with a white wash to walls and ceilings, oak flooring and internal doors and a bespoke stainless steel staircase in the entrance hall.
