Strone Cottage in the Scottish Highlands
26 Feb 2021
Strone Cottage
Design: Loader Monteith Architects
Location: the Scottish Highlands, Scotland
The Strone Cottage is the adaptive restoration and extension of a highland bothy in the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland
What was the brief"
The clients gave Loader Monteith Architects one powerful line of aspiration for their cottage: The house should feel warm and comfortable ? a light-filled family space that allows the outdoors to be in harmony with the indoors.
The idea was to turn the cottage, a very small property that was disconnected from its surroundings, into a comfortable and understated mountain retreat.
With three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining room and a snug, each space was to take advantage of the surrounding views ? with windows framing the Cairngorms.
Loader Monteith Architects wanted to make openings and point them at the view: a panoramic image of a dramatic mountainscape
What were the key challenges"
Because the existing cottage was very small, the architects had to more than double the area of property ? a significant challenge in planning terms. The team worked closely with the local planning department to make sure they arrived at a design response they would support.
