| Framing a View |

Good architecture doesn’t just create spaces - it creates connections to the world beyond them.

Framing a view can transform an everyday opening into a carefully composed moment, drawing the eye towards the landscape and bringing natural light, greenery and a sense of place into the heart of a home.

This view from our farmhouse renovation project near Insch is a great example of how thoughtful positioning can make the landscape an integral part of the architecture.

| Planning Approval |

Rendered visual, hand sketched site analysis, elevations and site layout of our recently planning approved new dwellinghouse commission, which joins a small cluster development previously designed by ak|a and delievered by our sister company Annie Kenyon Developments.

This addition shares a mutual material palette to the dwellings below, with enhanced bio-diversity features with an extensive wildflower blanket green roof.

Consideration was taken to the positioning of the dwelling relative to the existing topography. Taking advantage of the banked, tiered site, this hides the form from the neighbouring plots below, whilst also capturing long aspects above their ridges and out towards the valley and village below.

| Golf Course Views |

Last week, we were onsite undertaking Contract Administration duties and could not resist some pictures of this spectacular view.

The glazing has recently been installed, opening up the back of the house to celebrate panoramic views across the golf course, out towards sea and Slains Castle in the distance.

Garden works are also underway, with the formation of a new fire pit, built with locally sourced stone to allow our clients to enjoy their new outdoor space, whilst being sheltered from the prevailing winds.

Beautiful site, beautiful views, great progress and happy clients.

Impressive work to date by the experienced team at JHJ Construction.
