| Final Touches |

Delighted to see our Drumoak extension commission coming into the final stages before completion.

Birch ply stair treads and walls, with shadow gap abutments.

Great to see the lindab galvanised rainwater goods installed, tying in the completed elevation. Looking sharp up against the larch and terracotta corrugated roof.

Fantastic craftsmanship throughout from Kyle Sutherland Joinery Ltd

| 7 The Carnousie Meadows |

A restraint and contemporary material palette for our recently completed dwellinghouse with Annie Kenyon Developments, located in the Deveron Valley at Carnousie.

7 The Carnousie Meadows is now for sale and available for viewings.

This significant milestone is the second of 8 new builds, which will form Phase 1 of the development.

In turn, this enabling development (along with the following Phase 2), will support the investment required to restore and convert the glorious, ruinous, grade B listed steading on site, Carnousie Steading.

For more information on this speculative build, the historic importance of Mains of Carnousie Steading, and the remaining available plots, go to the https://www.akenyondevelopments.com/developments/mains-of-carnousie/house-type-2-1-1.

| Site Analysis & Options |

Site analysis and options for a new extension commission to a former croft cottage within the Cairngorms, around Glenlivet Estate.

These sketches convey site observations, constraints, features and opportunities to enhance the cottage, taking advantage of generous views from the elevated site, down the valley and out to Cairn Muldonich.

Some considered options for a perpendicular gable-to-gable, a replicated side by side roof footprint, along with a cranked/angled form.

| Insch Farmhouse |

Works are well underway at our Farmhouse extension and renovation project on the outskirts of Insch.

The core brief was simple: reconfigure the house to create a new functional entrance and open Kitchen, Dining & Living space filled with natural light and views beyond to Bennachie.

Most of the work currently is centred round the front elevation which sees the completion of the larch cladding and natural stone base course/sill, resulting in a warm, modern yet simplistic covered Entrance to the property.

Great work by Main Contractor, Stewart Wilson Joinery Ltd.

| Building Warrant Approved |

We’re delighted to have gained building warrant approval for a replacement dwellinghouse in the heart of the Cairngorms, in Boat of Garten.

An efficient, A rated dwelling with bio-diverse sedum roofs, larch cladding and exposed Douglas Fir rafters throughout. These honest, organic materials aim to create warmth and natural texture, transitioning externally and carrying through into the internal space.

It’s great to have these details considered and developed as we head into the next stages of work. We’re excited to see this commission progress.

| Best Seat in the House |

Delighted to see this extension and alterations commission progressing well on site, which now sees the steel and kit erected, with roof joists beginning to be anchored into place.

Great work as ever by main contractor JHJ Construction.

The finished contemporary extension, of expansive glass and cladding panels, will overlook one of the best views in the North East - Cruden Bay Golf Club and to the dunes beyond.

Excited to see this develop through our contract admin and supervision on-site (and from the tee box!).

| Rural Picturesque Office Available |

A unique opportunity has arisen to rent this beautiful gate lodge near Forgue, Huntly. Set in the Deveron Valley the office has a purpose built kitchen and WC facilities with efficient central heating, Wi-fi and cosy wood burning stove. Ample parking available.

If you are looking to set up a business, relocate or have additional space this Gate Lodge is a brilliant space to work in. Maybe it’s not an office you need - a salon/studio…. We are open to ideas.

To sit and watch red squirrels and fantastic wildlife from the window really is priceless.

Please spread the word and get in touch for more information.

| The Studio Material Sill |

At the heart of our studio, our material swatches library is ever growing, now taken over our window sill.

From textures and tones, to durability and tactile finishes, these samples allow us, our clients and contractors to explore, compare and refine every detail before it’s realised on site.

From slate and terracotta corrugated sheeting, to timber cladding and flooring samples, it’s important to have varied swatches to cover various aesthetic, architectural and forms variations for each project.

Now to buy shelving to house more….
