"The architects and client sought to create a contemporary family home which incorporates the listed shell of a small eighteenth century ruined house. The partial re-use of this existing house delineates this new development which is composed of two accommodation blocks connected by a glazed living-dining space. While the ruin has been consolidated and parts are incorporated within the new building, the separation between historic and contemporary is overt. A new timber structure perches itself on a substantial dry stone wall, built on old enclosure lines and re-using stone from the site, allowing the design to break with the local vernacular whilst being grounded in its robust landscape and tradition. The house thus sits comfortably within this extraordinarily beautiful landscape." -- RIBA
