Pentland View is a contemporary home inspired by mid-century modern architecture, designed to sit quietly within its woodland setting in Edinburgh's Colinton Conservation Area. Positioned to follow the natural contours of the site, the house takes full advantage of its south-facing aspect and long views towards the Pentland Hills, while its low profile responds sensitively to the surrounding landscape.

Clean low-lying forms, generous glazing and a restrained palette of brick, timber and natural materials create a strong relationship between the house, garden and surrounding woodland. Broad rooflines and a series of terraces encourage an easy connection between inside and out, allowing light and seasonal change to shape the atmosphere of the home throughout the day.

Designed around the owners' love of the outdoors, the house balances practicality with calm, open living. Flexible family spaces, generous storage and carefully considered proportions create a home that feels both grounded and lasting, shaped by landscape, light and the rhythms of everyday life.
