OS Lair Boathouse, Loch Dughaill, Achnashellach, Scotland.
There was an existing boathouse at Os Lair with one large studio room held within an A frame. The brief was to increase the accommodation to include 3 bedrooms.

The pitch of the roof was raised and the structure was cantilevered out at the sides to provide more usable space.
