This unique mid-century modern house from the office of Ralph Twitchell suffered years of modifications and neglect. Doors and windows between inside and outside and doors between rooms, including bathrooms, had been removed. The original carport was closed in with sliding glass doors and an awkward storage area was added behind the master bedroom.
The transformation of a small, dark laborer’s house into a contemporary family house. The client, a preschool teacher, and her son stressed the importance of an open house with a lot of light.

Loch Tummel house was designed around the experiences of arrival, discovery, shelter and outlook. Our overriding design focus was to create a home that emerges from its setting, as opposed to being an object placed in the landscape. It is nevertheless a self-consciously picturesque house, not trying to be invisible but to have a sense of belonging in its context. We wanted to create a home that offered moments for luxuriating in the sublime grandeur of the surrounding landscape, as well as darker, quieter spaces of refuge and contemplation.
