A contemporary home rooted in the rural landscape, Melamar thoughtfully and innovatively integrates natural materials, energy efficiency, and comfort in perfect harmony.
Perched above a small burn, our design has enhanced the home owner’s experience of the site – defined by long views over fields to the south and west – and transformed their quality of life.
The striated Scottish Caithness stone walling defines the formal public realm, creating a solid – yet textured – mass. This is balanced by a softer, naturally weathered timber rainscreen cladding that wraps around the rest of the building to subtly reflect the nearby rows of mature deciduous trees.
Inside, the space is just as open and calming. Two angled bay windows are strategically positioned in the principal rooms, maximising sunlight, framing views of the hills, and guaranteeing peaceful privacy.
