Project Description

This project at Corrick is a house extension for a couple living in the rural area of Kiltarlity outside Inverness.  

The Client wanted a clean and simple all white interior space with a wood burning stove centrally placed.  We shaped the design to symmetrically frame the view with a full height glazed gable.  

​

The two challenges were firstly to provide a solution to a flue passing through the ridge and secondly to provide structure to the glazed gable.  Essentially a steel portal frame was designed by the engineer whereby the timber window frames would be individually fixed together and fixed back to the steel portal frame.   Two steel ridge beams allow the flue to pass centrally through the roof.
