ELIE HOUSE
Status: Completed
Location: Elie, Fife
Type: Residential
Project Architect: Paul Tierney RIBA
Structural Engineer: Create Engineering LLP
Contractor: AGB Scotland Ltd
Client: Mrs Jo Giddins
Area: 380 SqM
A new-build house constructed for a private client on the east coast of Scotland. The site overlooks the 17th hole of Elie Golf Course and the design responds to the views over the course to the sea beyond. The bedrooms and other service spaces are located on the ground floor and the reception areas above them with large expanses of floor to ceiling glazing and terraces. The first floor is designed as a single space and top lit by Scotland’s largest residential roof light.
The project was runner-up in the DIA’s “Best New House” awards in 2017.
