Designed by architect Sir Robert Matthews, assisted by Sir James Dunbar Nasmith, it was built in 1957 as an early eco-home incorporating many unusual, heat-saving features suggested by the owner: triple and quadruple glazing, positioned to catch maximum sunlight, underfloor heating, a sun room and an inner courtyard. The house is set in a beautiful garden sloping down to the Gogar burn with statues, terraces, a sunken garden, and specially commissioned doocot and stone compost area. It is a fascinating example of modernist architecture which aims to bring the garden into the house in accordance with the principles of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was B listed by Historic Scotland in February 2012. At the time of printing the future of Suntrap is uncertain; please check www. suntrapgarden.org for details of opening.
