After six years at Foster + Partners, Graeme Laughlan set up his London practice, completing his first new build, the House at Camusdarach Sands, last year. The stunningly bold structure is clad in black-stained wood, its bright interior serving as a stark contrast. Laughlan cites a wide range of influences, from Bobby Gillespie to Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, and other projects include his Modular temporary bar solution.
