WT Architects have taken an original stone house, that was built in the mid-1700’s, and transformed it into a home that’s livable in today’s world.

The home is located on the Isle of Coll in Scotland. The original stone building was abandoned in the mid-1800’s as it started to crack.

When the current owners acquired the building, it was more of a ruin than a house, so they worked with WT Architecture to create a home for their family.

They decided to incorporate the ruins into the design of the new home, keeping as much of the original building as possible.
