PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED

This project is for a single-storey 3-bedroom new Gate Lodge within the grounds of a category B listed early 20^th-century house.  The owner wanted to create a new dwelling in the grounds of his house which fully respected the architectural style of the main house. The Main house was designed and built by Stewart C Paterson for W.W MacFarlane of MacFarlane’s biscuits.  Paterson`s design has a strong similarity to the work of Edwin Lutyens. It is Tudor style and arts and crafts in character, also using classical detail to tie it strongly to Lutyens who was the master of wittily combining medieval, classical, and traditional crafts in his work.  We knew this project would require a sensitive design to respect its architectural context in relation to the main house and not disrupt the feel and look of the splendid mature grounds. The building’s design is traditional in its inspiration.
