The Scotland House

This substantial project involved a newly built, steel-framed house in Scotland. The owners wanted to move away from the industrial appearance of exposed steel and avoid having boxed-in beams throughout the property. Instead, they wanted the house to have the look and feel of a traditional oak-framed building.

The work involved transforming the extensive steel framework throughout the house, including a large steel mezzanine, to resemble an old oak structure. With so many structural elements visible, the challenge was to make the beams and mezzanine feel like part of the original design rather than additions to a modern building.

Take a look at the before-and-after photographs below to see the transformation.
