Drumskew is a new-build private house located on the site of a former farmhouse, positioned on an elevated plot with expansive views over the surrounding countryside. The design responds directly to both its setting and the memory of the agricultural building it replaces, balancing outward views with an internal focus on a sheltered, south-facing courtyard.

The building is arranged to frame the landscape while creating a sense of enclosure and refuge within. Carefully proportioned openings capture key views, while more private spaces open onto the courtyard, offering protection from the elements and a calm focal point at the heart of the plan.

The architectural language draws from local building traditions, with pitched roof forms, natural materials and a restrained use of detail. The result is a house that sits comfortably in its rural setting, reflecting the character of the region while meeting the needs of contemporary life.
