Project New Scotland

Residence

In the rolling hills once known as New Scotland, this historic schoolhouse was reborn with crisp detailing, refined millwork, and rustic beams softened by a natural palette. Thoughtfully planned and bathed in light, it reflects a sophisticated take on country living - timeless, tailored, and free of farmhouse cliché.
