The Brass House

A transformation of a terraced house in St Andrews for a young and ambitious family with a fun sense for design.

The design creates an open plan kitchen / diner/ living but with a twist : to provide some degree of separation between the kitchen and living room a curved perforated brass pod was conceived. Brass sheets with circular perforations on an aluminium sub frame.

The second significant design move was to angle the ceiling of the extension to capture views over the buildings opposite and bring in as much natural light as possible. The soffit cladding is brass to match the curved pod.

The project also includes a new master suite in the roof extension and a ground floor gymnasium.

Planning and Warrant approved. On site
