House for a Chemist / Brown & Brown Architects

‘Create a whisper, not a shout’ was the brief given to Brown & Brown Architects by their clients, who have raised their family on the Ayrshire coast within sight of the Isle of Arran, and feel have a deep-rooted connection to this stretch of coastline. It was very important that any new additions were visually subservient to the original house, a traditional Victorian villa of red sandstone, which had faced the elements for more than 150 years. ‘House for a Chemist’ is the refurbishment and extension of a traditional Victorian villa, on the coast of Ayrshire.
