Village dwelling

MFA was appointed to secure planning permission in principle for the erection of a dwellinghouse on an area of land associated with a former quarry adjacent to the small rural village of Letham.  Upon approval, MFA was then instructed to design a bespoke 1½ storey 4 bedroom family home which addressed the conditions of the PPP consent.  

The house plot was situated on a prominent sloping site which adjoined both the curtilage of a listed building and Letham Conservation Area.  Careful consideration was therefore given to the massing and form of the dwelling to ensure that it responded to the traditional vernacular architecture of the locality whilst also being inconspicuous when viewed from public vantage points within the wider landscape.  

The design solution provided contemporary spaces suitable for modern family living which maximised the spectacular views available from the site over the Howe of Fife towards the Lomond Hills.
