River-View House is much like the treasured heirlooms displayed in this contemporary home in Dalkeith. The first and last, new home of our brave octogenarian clients, it is comfortable in its own skin and reflects a love for family settled around the globe.
Driven by a yearning for a home that could accommodate family gatherings for an extended period, a place to create lasting memories with their grandchildren and a wish to accommodate for their aging journey with sustainable design and flexibility.
Constructed from rammed-limestone, timber, aluminium and travertine in natural tones, single-storey pavilions to the north are connected to a two-storey pavilion by a jewel like reflection pond, glased living link and courtyards capturing northern light and cooling sea breezes. A symbiosis between the architecture, interior design and landscaping is created by a seamless fusion of indoor and outdoor living spaces exuding a casual sophistication in this timeless design.
