Old Red House
Old Red House is the culmination of a united client-architect partnership to decarbonise one of the most common housing types in the UK – the terraced house. Terraces equate 25% of the UK’s housing stock according to a 2021-22 study by English Housing Survey; Old Red House aims to show just how much can be achieved to reduce the impact of this housing stock.
Undertaken by James Morton and Fenella Barlow-Pay, the renovations of Old Red House sought to better organise existing space, and extend the living areas, all with the underlying aim to make an exemplar project of energy efficiency.

Iorram
Iorram is our own self-build project, on a tight triangular site in Plockton Conservation Area. The project was an opportunity for us to explore a distinctly Scottish approach to natural materials, and the use of local timber, which is an underutilised sustainable resource. We wanted to communicate the value of craftsmanship, local skills, and the inherent quality in natural materials in and of themselves.
