St Philips Care Supported Living

Kippen House, Perthshire

This is a sensitive design proposal to convert and extend an existing outbuilding immediately adjacent to the Category B-Listed Kippen House to create two supported living residential units. An elongation of the existing pitched roof building form is used to create a simple but effective contemporary design. The open pitched ‘portal timber frame’ feature to the front gives the building unique character and provides a degree of privacy as well as framing the views to the extensive grounds and wider landscape beyond. Access to the two units from the side elevations maximises the opportunity for generous glazing and enhanced views from the main living spaces. External materials comprise natural stone, slate roofing and timber weatherboarding. The intention is to create a sensitive design solution that makes a positive contribution to the setting of the adjacent listed building.
