Lynwood
Info

A contemporary split-level home for a retired couple, which sits sensitively on a sloped woodland site in Banchory, Aberdeenshire. 

Taking the form of a triptych of stone, glass, and wood, the restrained use of materials gives breathing space for the more dramatic elements of the building. The quiet ebb and flow of the external cladding, the cross-laminated timber ceiling, and the sweeping wooden staircase for example, are rich with texture and detail, showcased by the simplicity of the palette.

Rising from the two-storey entrance hall, the central staircase opens into the social spaces which are located along the South elevation of the upper floor. Half-height walls overlooking the hallway allow this more public part of the house to be open and bright.By contrast the bedrooms are located within the stone plinth, or towards the back of the site, where the house sits within the context of mature woodland.

Although a substantial home, a simple uncomplicated aesthetic makes Lynwood a quiet and complimentary neighbour to the Victorian properties in this residential street.
