Set within a private woodland setting on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Hunter House was designed as a quiet and enduring home shaped around the lifestyle of its owners. Inspired by the principles of mid-century modern architecture, the house combines clarity of form, honest materials and a strong connection to the landscape to create spaces that support everyday family life.

A series of low, interlocking volumes anchor the house within its gently sloping site, while expansive glazing creates a close relationship between the interior spaces, garden and surrounding woodland. Changing views and light help define the atmosphere of the home throughout the day, strengthening the connection between inside and out.

Developed in close collaboration with the clients, the house balances generous family spaces with more private areas, unified by a refined palette of brick, timber and concrete. Shaped by landscape, seasonal change and the individuality of its owners, the house provides a welcoming setting for modern family life.
