What a fabulous day to be on site to see the fantastic progress being made on this site located on the west coast of Scotland. The existing house benefited from an amazing position overlooking the Kilbrannan Sound with the beautiful Isle of Arran providing a dramatic backdrop. The house itself, however, was a typical late twentieth century, standard, dormer bungalow that failed to capitalise on its terrific setting. The redevelopment scheme strives to create high quality spac

Nicholson Nairn were responsible for obtaining Planning Approval and Building Warrant for this fabulous new dwelling in the open countryside on the shores of The West Loch, Tarbert. With a backdrop of Ancient Oak forest, the design capitalises on the incredible southerly views down to the Loch, and the jaw dropping westerly views of the mountains of Knapdale. Set around a central stair tower, the spacious living accommodation is split between two wings and an incredible two s

In this very strange time we find ourselves in, it is great to see our sites back up and running. Here are some progress shots of these fabulous high-end luxury holiday cottages set in the outskirts of Cumbria. We cannot wait to see the large expense of glazing go into the gable end, which will give amazing views out over the countryside. Watch this space! #instadesign #everythingarchitecture #architecturelife #architecturelovers #archigram #archviz #newbuild #newholidayhome

Both the family room and master bedroom open onto large balconies with glazed balustrading, allowing uninterrupted views and creating fantastic spaces f
