Patch Limited

I often talk about setting buildings ‘into the landscape’ not ‘onto the landscape’. This rural development in the Cairnmuir hills near Bannockburn interprets that sentiment literally. For this project we worked creatively with the client to develop an appropriate rural living solution to an otherwise highly sensitive landscape. Skilled contractors who understand underlying geology were able to excavate the dwelling’s footprint within the natural rocky outcrops, setting the building into the landform in a way in which natural character and visual and amenity values are protected.
