Engineered grace

摘要

The building sits on an outcrop of a small rocky headland rising about 15 m above the sea on the narrow western coastal margin of Loch Fyne. Access is along a low coastal strip on an unsurfaced single-track road. The initial concept was to replace a derelict traditional wooden summer house which sat upon the summit of the headland with a modern single storey building approximately 8 m long x 4 m wide, having modern amenities in the form of basic sanitation, sleeping accommodation for a couple, and a study desk/reading area. The building was to be designed to maximise the stunning views across Loch Fyne while withstanding the rigours of the local environment for many years to come.
