Whitberry House Extension / Pend Architects
Briefly

Pend renovated and expanded Whitberry, a Grade B listed Georgian farmhouse in East Lothian, Scotland. The renovation unified the home's fragmented rear elevation with light-touch interventions to enhance family living. The charming pink facade contrasts with a patchwork of historic and haphazard rear additions. The project addressed a difficult cellular interior layout that forced the family to navigate through multiple rooms to reach the garden. The architects collaborated with clients who became project managers to achieve a modern yet respectful revision of the space.
