Our winning entry for the Highland Housing Fair competition was designed to provide a modern house with its roots in the Highland vernacular. The design was conceived to take full advantage of the private external spaces and encourage the use of this space for food production as well as pleasure. The internal spaces are designed to benefit from the highly sustainable specification, maximising insulation and heat from solar gain.
