Loch Maree

The 500m2 house on the edge of Loch Maree in Rosshire in the North West Highlands replaces a former foresters cottage. Set within a mature woodland setting, with views from the site directly towards Slioch, one of the best known mountains in scotland, the house has been designed to embrace the spectacular scenery.

The use of timber has been a key issue in the development of the design, and it is proposes to take full advantage of timber within the structure, cladding and energy use of the house.

It is currently planned to use solid timber construction for the structure, and it is believed that this would be the first use of this system in Scotland. The building will be clad in a range of materials, primarily timber cladding (shingles and board on board), timber screens, glass and render. A system of combined heat and power is proposed for energy use, ideally using locally sourced timber.
