By
Rob Wilson
Summary
ZONE Architects has completed a low-energy, four-bedroom house near St Andrews, Scotland, designed with an elongated orthogonal plan inspired by traditional longhouses. Set in woodland, the home features south-facing living spaces and bedrooms that open onto a landscaped garden through large sliding glazed openings. A timber pergola-like structure shades the long south elevation, and the design prioritizes a strong connection to the garden, natural light, and energy efficiency for clients who are keen gardeners.
