Meggerland cottage sits on the Solway coast, and was commissioned by a couple with a passion for collecting contemporary art and mid century design. The cabin's considered interior is home to a collection of beautifully curated pieces .  

 

The  angled design of the cabin exploits the view to the sea,  with a sheltered balcony projecting out over the cascading burn below. It sits modestly to the side of Meggerland cottage and conceals two integrated storage spaces . 

 

The exterior is clad in black stained Russwood Thermopine ,which creates a discreet finish; the ingoes are in a contrasting  natural finish . 

 

The entrance sits at the crux of the cabin , and opens on to an elegantly tall lobby with doors off to the living space , shower room and double bedroom - the perfect setting for a classic  pendant light. 

​

The living space has a sliding pocket door out on to the balcony, with a stunning view to the sea and the setting sun . The section of the room is a nod to an archetypal pitched roof house, creating volume and elegant height.

 

​​A maple- fronted kitchen unit sits at the opposite end, with a  bright orange worktop, fridge , sink and domino hob - behind it a window  positioned perfectly to frame another  view the burn and over a small cut-away patio.

​

A sliding door off the lobby opens on to  a small shower room, concealing its unexpectedly bold patterned tiles - a generous statement  in a small space .

​

The double bedroom is minimal, and decorated with the owners' trademark elegance. Additional storage space has been 'borrowed' from above the bedroom, accessed externally at the rear of the building. 

​​

Solar panels integrated in the roof feed back to the grid , and the cabin is kept warm  by underfloor heating.
