Morris, Steedman, Perth, Perth & Kinross, Scotland, 1964
OfHouses guest curated by Willie Miller ( The Cosmic Inspiro-Cloud ): “The Leather House
sits on the banks of the River Tay overlooking Perth’s North Inch. The single
storey building was designed to provide the occupants with plenty of contact
with the surrounding landscape. The house is slim and long
with a roof that sweeps up dramatically at one end. The rise in the roof
provides the living room with clerestory windows that catch the morning sun. Sliding and folding
doors can be used to separate the living room off from the adjacent study and
dining area. A glazed link connects the main body of the house to a pavilion-like
extension.” (Photos: © Jenny Taylor, David Henrie / Scran.)
