An aerial photo of the house during construction.  Plot looks nice and level from up here.

Back on terra firma and the plot looks very different!  The steeply sloping plot means a lot of underbuilding, giving the opportunity to create a useable basement.  When the house is completed a dry stone wall is to be built to disguise the underbuilding and soften the impact. 

This is the basement with stairs leading to ground floor level.  It might just take a pool table.

This is the view as you arrive at the top of the basement stairs.  The naturally lit bright interior of the main house is a real contrast from the (mainly) artificially lit basement.

This is the view you get when making your mince & tatties. 

Why doesn't my kitchen ever look like this?  Where are all the dirty dishes and greasy finger marks?  Its not that I'm jealous or anything.

I'm ready for the mince & tatties now.

Stairs leading to the first floor.  The recessed lighting feature punctuates the journey upstairs. 

Looking to the living room and up to the bridge walkway - a real feature of this design.

Upstairs now.  This is the bridge walkway that links the upstairs sitting area and the master bedroom.

Landscaping complete and house now looking much more comfortable.

This is the rear of the house with the main entrance nice and handy for the car parking, always an important consideration when designing your house.
