Thanks for this. There's lots I really like about Neil's own house (and some that I don't 😂).

I'm not surprised to hear that they are associated with Mary Arnold Foster as their designs have a similar feel. 

I really love what they are doing and the new approach to Highland architecture. I'm hoping it will work just as well here in the south of Scotland.

One consideration will be some kind of shading. I know you're in Scotland but you will have have massive solar gain for most of the day

 

Also the TV may have glare problems during the afternoon, so it may be mechanical shading required rather than just photo-resistant glazing

Don't underestimate solar gain, it can be painful even in northern Scotland. Consider the less obvious westerly setting sun as much as the southern.

Yes it bothers me alright. I have been thinking, but I haven't come up with an effective solution yet. I'm not blind to the issue though.
