Rescobie Pavilion

Nestled in the landscape this pavilion fulfils the clients’ ambitions to live more of their family life outdoors. Located at the edge of their site, sliding walls open the space up to the steeply sloping garden to the west and frame views over fields to Rescobie Loch in the east.

The building picks up and concludes the line of a formerly ruined dry stone wall, making a stone plinth containing a workshop on which sits a light filled living and dining space. A monopitch roof is angled to bring sunlight in during the winter months while providing shade in the summer.

A broad wrap around balcony cantilevers above the garden, incorporating a suspended corner seat that enjoys the last rays of evening sun. At night the family can retreat indoors around a log burning stove, cocooned by a birch plywood interior.
