Cuddymoss, located in Ayrshire, Scotland, is a remarkable example of sustainable architecture that integrates history with modern design. The project revolves around a stone and brick ruin that has been preserved and enhanced with a modern timber-frame building, designed by Ann Nisbet Architecture-Research-Design. The aim was to create a home that reflects the site’s history while incorporating sustainable practices. The design features a combination of reclaimed materials like whinstone, sandstone, and local brick, which are used to preserve the building’s original character. The kitchen, designed with Valcucine’s Genius Loci collection, blends seamlessly with the natural elements of the home. The use of timber and stone in the kitchen enhances the tactile connection to the surrounding environment. A central island, made from a combination of materials, serves as a hub for cooking and gathering. The innovative kitchen system includes customizable drawers and accessories, allowing the space to adapt to the owner’s needs while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic. Cuddymoss stands as a testament to how sustainable architecture can honor the past while embracing modern technology, creating a home that is both eco-friendly and connected to its surroundings.
