Trossachs Estate
A comprehensive programme of restoration and renewal for a rural estate near Aberfoyle in the Trossachs.
The project brings together the remodelling, refurbishment and extension of a number of existing buildings alongside the construction of new structures, all set within a dramatic Highland landscape of lochs, woodland and open hills. Buildings being restored include a Victorian hunting lodge, cruck-frame barn, stables, boat house and several ancillary outbuildings. Each is treated with respect for its character, using best-practice conservation methods in stonework, roofwork, plaster and timber.
The estate is being modernised to meet contemporary expectations of comfort and sustainability. Fossil fuel heating systems are replaced with renewable technologies, including heat pumps, photovoltaics and battery storage. Fabric upgrades improve energy performance through additional insulation, new insulated floor slabs and conservation double glazing.
Together, these measures ensure the estate continues to serve as a working, lived-in place. The architecture sits in balance with its landscape, combining heritage and sustainability to secure the estate’s long-term future.
