This farmhouse extension in Linlithgow transforms an existing stone cottage to create a contemporary family home while respecting the character, scale and rural setting of the original building.

The design balances continuity with contemporary living, using a series of carefully scaled additions that preserve the prominence of the existing building while strengthening its relationship with the surrounding landscape. A restrained palette of natural stone and zinc creates continuity between old and new, allowing the extensions to feel like a natural evolution of the home rather than competing additions.
