About the project

“Winner of the 2024 Dundee Institute of Architects ‘best extension of the year’ award

Jones Robbins Tobin worked closely with Tiny Temple to come up with a cladding design that would tie in well with the proportions extension while being low maintenance.

Tiny Temple came up with a 92mm Thermal Pine Rainscreen, factory sanded and coated in SIOO:X. The SIOO:X coating factory applied by Tiny Temple offers the client a virtually maintenance free, consistently weathered finish.

This cladding was offered in set lengths that closely match the elevation height to keep wastage to a minimum.

This meticulously crafted extension transforms a single-storey coastal home in Elie, seamlessly blending contemporary design with ecological sensitivity. The project maximises space and natural light, creating a warm, sustainable living environment that feels both expansive and intimate. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with craftsmanship and precision evident throughout. At the heart of its success is a strong client-architect collaboration, resulting in a home that is both beautifully refined and deeply personal.
