A new private house set within a listed walled garden in Fife, the project combines the clients' desire for a 'glass' house with a response to the formal geometry of the enclosing walls, paths and borders of what was the original fruit garden of the adjacent country house. Two 'fat' masonry walls are set into the garden to define the house and the new spaces around it. The first cuts through the garden wall to lead visitors into an entrance garden whilst screening them from the main spaces of the house. The second wall runs perpendicular to the first on the axis of the original central path through the garden. This wall screens the bedrooms and bathroom that look east onto a private orchard. The main living spaces sit within the angle of the two walls, facing south towards the main garden.
