Set within a stunning landscape overlooking Loch Awe, Hundred Acre Wood features a central hall space designed to accommodate an 18-ft Christmas tree.

Architect Denizen Works said the home was designed and constructed over an eight-year period.

The practice added: “The house reflects the close working relationship between architect and client. The main challenge of the brief was how to create an architecture appropriate for the setting which contained no other built context.

“Early conversations for the house focused on the history of Scottish architecture, from brochs and tower houses to Mackintosh, whilst at the same time inspiration was drawn from the sculptural works of Eduardo Chillida, which evoke the sense of a carved solid mass. This sense of protective outer shell was key to the design development as a response to the exposed site and harsh weather.

“The house is designed around a central double-height hall, enclosed by a protective inhabitable wall containing the primary accommodation. Living and dining spaces have the prime views while the house stretches across the landscape to the south, making most of the sun in the two-storey bedroom wing. Thick walls with deep window reveals enhance the sense of protection and sculptural quality of the spaces.

“We developed a unique and contemporary take on traditional Scottish harling, inspired by our client’s disdain for television. Using recycled TV screens as an aggregate for the cladding gives the house its unique and changeable character that responds to the elements.”
