Residential Development by wt architecture, Western Isles Scotland



The White House, Isle of Coll
2009-
wt architecture - William Tunnell

Before + after:


Work has started on site for WT Architecture's designs for the ruin of the White House on the Isle of Coll. This complex project involves the incorporation of a new house within the spectacularly cleft ruin, with new wings of accommodation pushing out into the landscape, sheltered behind large dry-stone walls. The house was visited by Boswell and Johnston during their tour of the Hebrides in 1773 and overlooks a dramatic rocky bay on the Atlantic coast. The building has been un-occupied for 150 years during and its deterioration was accelerated by treasure seekers digging for legendary gold under its walls. Work to stabilise the ruin is complete and the house is due for completion in 2010.
