\"Corriebeg<\/div>\n

Scottish studio Moxon Architects<\/a> has extended a house<\/a> in rural Aberdeenshire, adding two barn-like volumes that are clad in timber battens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Corriebeg and located near the village of Sauchen, the project involved updating the existing home to meet rigorous Passivhaus<\/a> standards while introducing a new living and dining space, a home office, a bedroom suite and an entrance hall.<\/p>\n

Instead of expanding the existing structure’s footprint, Moxon Architects<\/a> distributed the additional spaces across two new gabled volumes. These are connected to the existing home and each other via a glazed link with a green roof.<\/p>\n

The resulting cluster of buildings was designed not only to echo the farmsteads typical in the area, but also to offer the interiors better access to natural light and a variety of views out over the landscape.<\/p>\n

“The extension is deliberately modest in scale and arranged as two simple volumes that sit comfortably alongside the original building, recalling the clustered form of nearby farmsteads,” studio director Andrew Macpherson told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

A new entrance hall sits tucked between the new and old volumes, opening into a skylit living and dining area divided by an exposed concrete fireplace.<\/p>\n

A study sits centrally to the plan, with the new bedroom suite on one side. This suite projects slightly outwards to create an unobstructed corner window, with light and views controlled by a sliding timber shutter.<\/p>\n

Within the footprint of the existing home, an expanded kitchen space sits alongside a utility room, bathroom and bedroom, with the first floor containing two further bedrooms.<\/p>\n
