Sword House, Killearn

Our clients approached us with a basic design provided by another architect. The design was uninspiring and failed to make the most of a hillside site. An initial meeting at the site helped us understand the importance of locating the home, to take advantage of the stunning views.

We were tasked with improving the flow, layout and external appearance of a house which would be our clients 'forever home'. We are experienced with 'H' plan layouts and helped provide rational to the plan, separating the public and private areas of the house. Externally we have used natural stone walling, board on board cladding, metal roofing and our particular favourite, rain chain downpipes which provide a unique solution to rainwater collection.
