Seton Mains Update

A new application has been lodged for Three.

Seton Mains Update

Both applications (recommended for approval) were pulled from East Lothian Council's delegated list by Labour councillor Willie Innes.

Following a site visit the application for Long Craigs was approved.

The application for Three Seton Mains was rejected by committee on a vote of six votes to five. The planning committee convenor voting against the proposal advised the committee member's that the bulk and massing, were inappropriate to the site. A statement entirely in contradiction to the opinion of the councils planning officers.

Paterson Architects will appeal the decision in due course.

Conference and Concert Hall

A 5000 seat multifunctional hall, 150 bedroom hotel and entertainment complex was our clients brief for this outline feasibility study.

House on the Hill

Three Seton Mains

Three was shortlisted for a Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Award in the contemporary home category and appeared in the January 2007 issue of Homebuilding and Renovating Magazine.

Paterson Architects gave a talk for the Edinburgh Architectural Association at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh entitled,

An Extraordinary House

Detailing the development of Three from planning to completion.

The project also featured in the April 2006 edition of Grand Designs Magazine.

The Sunday Times featured the house and Paterson Architects in an article by Dominic Bradbury.

Grazing the edges of a quiet Scottish Hamlet...the house comes as a striking surprise. A contemporary cedar clad statement designed for upside down living, it would not be out of place in a style conscious corner of Austria or Switzerland. But here we are a dozen miles from Edinburgh...

The house has been exhibited in, Architecture and Scotland 2004 - 2006, Defining Place. It was also exhibited at the RSA in Edinburgh, published in Building Design magazine and featured in Homes and Interiors Scotland, magazine.
