Situated in the suburbs to the North of Glasgow this striking contemporary new build home takes maximum advantage of the restricted site and its open aspect, both to north and south, with open plan living space situated at the uppermost level. The article gives a little back story to the project and explains how restrictions caused by the site drove the design.
