Plas Gwyn位于威尔士北部Pwllheli的一处数英亩的牧场上，是一栋建造于16世纪、被列为二级保护建筑的石砌住宅。阶梯状的山墙使其成为了在当地独一无二的建筑类型。

Plas Gwyn is a Grade II* listed 16th Century stone farmhouse located in Pwllheli, north Wales within acres of farmland including pastures for cattle. The stepped gables make the ’plas’ a distinctive building type in the region.

Plas Gwyn的所有者是该农场的第三代经营者，他委托Donald Insall Associates将这座住宅扩建为一座可租用的度假屋，借助设计来吸引更多的游客。设计的重点是尽可能地利用Plas Gwyn的位置优势，最大程度地引入斯诺登尼亚山与湖泊的壮观视野。

The owner of Plas Gwyn, a third generation farmer, commissioned Donald Insall Associates to expand the existing house into lettable holiday accommodation that would inspire and attract visitors through its design. It was important that the new extension would make most of Plas Gwyn’s rural location and maximise the spectacular views onto Snowdonia and the Llyn.
