About

Several developments at once, run by the two people whose names are on them.

Packard Barry Developments is Grace Packard and Seán Barry. We are based in Edinburgh and build across Scotland, from the central belt to the Caithness coast.

We run projects at pace, but not at arm's length. The decisions which are expensive to undo — where a house sits, how it takes the weather, what it is made of — are made by us rather than delegated.

Current Development

Auckengill,
Caithness

A four-bedroom house going up on the east coast of Caithness, six miles south of John o' Groats. It is open, treeless country up there — flagstone dykes, weather off the North Sea, and very little between the house and the water.

Location
Auckengill, Caithness

Four bedrooms

The Design

How it will look

The proposed south-east elevation: four dormers to the upper floor, a gabled entrance porch, and a double garage set into the near end.
