The White House is a home located in Grishipoll, Isle of Coll, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
The project was completed by WT Architecture in 2011.
The White House by WT Architecture:
“A new house in and around the ruins of ‘The White House’ where Boswell and Johnston visited during their tour of the Hebrides in 1773. The spectacularly cleft ruin is to be consolidated and only partly occupied. A glazed living room link connects a wing of domestic accommodation to the west, which is sheltered by a massive dry stone wall that extends into the landscape, extending the ancient patterns of enclosure analysed in the drawing above left. The building was completed in late June 2010.”

Honestly, are these projects we happy to see. That simplicity, many books, few adornments, much wisdom … respect for the past and a lot of wisdom!
