Field of dreams A new house: the not-vernacular, Meigle, Perthshire
A raw agricultural landscape dominates the barn like house, prescribing an earthen palette of brick to harmonise with the tilled soil. No boundary walls prevent the free flow of space and light around and through the house.
Graeme Hutton: "the building is designed to extend our preoccupation with 'Place, Programme and Presence' as a guiding narrative in the creation of New Scottish Work... Architects rarely acknowledge their response to a 'Place' in the design process, yet we believe recognising and interpreting this response to be key in the creation of meaningful work."
Designed by Graeme Hutton and the late David Jameson of the University of Dundee with LJRH Chartered Architects, Dundee. The house was designed for Mr & Mrs Drummond and accommodates a studio, workshop and garage. The house was built by the owners.
