Ross House, Scotland
2020-
We are currently working on the transformation and extension of Ross House, a historic manor from the late 1890s in Dornoch, Scotland.
The building has served many roles over the years — from family home, wartime billet for Norwegian troops, school hostel, and most recently a golf academy.
The project includes three parts: the refurbishment and extension of Ross House, two new buildings called the Steading and the Warehouse, and a redesigned garden featuring a new spa pavilion.
Ross House will be converted into a nine-apartment hotel. On the south-west façade — long perceived as the rear — we have designed a copper-clad veranda, housing a small restaurant and bar, resting on a sandstone terrace overlooking the golf course and the sea.
The project is carried out in collaboration with Arkitektstudion AB and local architect Mike Macbeth.
