Highland House banner

This highland plateau house is a climate driven solution, a response to the raw windswept terrain. The magnificent yet formidable context required a solution that embraced the dramatic landscape while anchoring within the elements. Essential shelter is defined through humble, vernacular form, a courtyard framing distant views and the bracken cedar tones in the rugged surrounding slopes.
