This extension provides an in-keeping addition to a small croft house that had previously been restored by this practice. The gable extension provides a dedicated sitting room & study. A discrete corner window provides an idyllic writer's corner with splendid views over St Magnus Bay.
More recently this practice has integrated a small freestanding studio and garage set within the edge of the garden walls.
“Richard Gibson Architects has restored and renovated three homes for me over a period of 40 years. In each case the designs were true to the character of the buildings, setting and proposed use and in each case included visionary and pleasing features. I have no reservations in recommending Richard Gibson Architects, the results will change your life. Laughton Johnston”
