Mains of Farnell, Brechin

Wellwood Leslie were approached to develop proposals for the regeneration of a site outside of Brechin which included conversion of an existing steading ruin. The brief was to convert the steading and propose new build detached and semi-detached houses on the residual site area in the form of a small settlement grouping.

The site was only partially brownfield and the structural assessment of the ruin deemed it not fit for conventional conversion. Due to this, proposals were developed to re-build parts of the existing structure and integrate them into a wider courtyard housing development, which adopted the existing scale, form, mass and character of the steading remains.
