Douglas and Carol Forrest run Acanthus Architects a successful practice in the far north of Scotland near Aberdeen. Successful, due their adventurous, yet also, extremely rigorous approach to their work, Douglas has photographed a few of their projects for various magazines. Here are some images of their very sensitive conversion of a derelict farmbuilding into their own home.

Hi Alison. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’d marked yours as one I liked when I went through the student blogroll! I was up in Edinburgh last week, really liked it and hope to discover more of Scotland next year! Anna, BYW x

I love what they’ve done, especially leaving the feature wood wall. It reminds me of
a friends old farmhouse in the Dordogne.
