Historic Listed Stables

Near derelict, the Grade 1 Listed historic stables of a country estate in Scotland are completely restored and remodelled from the ground up.

 

The owners were determined to conserve sensitive original features and reuse materials wherever possible and incorporated sustainable technology throughout. Now a spacious family home that seamlessly bridges past and present, wraps around a private and beautiful enclosed courtyard garden.

​

Working with the architect and a highly skilled team, right from the start of this hefty project, reaped tangible rewards in the long run... preserving a unique site for future generations. 

​

"Throughout, Cid has been an integral and indispensable part of the design team. Her work has been faultless, and that we are in one piece at the end of it, and thrilled with the result is almost entirely due to her skill, experience, impeccable eye, attention to detail, and gift for people wrangling.

 

As a client I have felt her to be an utterly unflappable guide and mentor who understood completely what we were trying to achieve, and showed us how to do it - all done with tact and good humour."             CK Balfour 2020
