Construction of a new Boat Store, Extension and Groundworks to an Existing Dwelling
The existing building is really special to our client, who has family connections with the house going back generations. The site is located along the Solway coastline, with the rugged granite and greywacke landscape to match.
The main challenge we were presented with is incorporating a boat store on the site, with access to the lower-level garden. We have tackled this by working with the levels and using materials to bed the building and its appearance into the landscape, presenting a practical solution that reduces the buildings visual impact as well as loss of garden space.
The existing building has been poorly extended in the past and we are are also proposing new simple and sympathetic extensions that give the client more practical kitchen and lounge accommodation.
Though this is a small project, we have particularly enjoyed the opportunity to take an holistic design approach to the entire site.
Work is due to start on site in April 2026 with Baineach Architects administering the Contract Works.
