苏格兰高地上纯木质住宅设计

Situated in the scottish highlands, the isle of skye is home to an idyllic rolling rusticity, one that local firm rural design architects seeks to incorporate into the overall gestalt of the vernacular architecture. 'then hen house' is a holiday getaway residence that eschews convention due to this very unique position in the landscape. the architects resolved to raise the house on small pilotis as a method of releasing the design from the hills and to make use of wider context of the topography. deliberately narrowing northward and leaning into the weather, the home creates a relationship to the nearby fiscavaig,a norse word for 'fish bay.' the building's form affords stunning views of a blue-skinned seascape and warm-colored mountainside. the entrance is a mini-bridge that further emphasizes the architecture as a visitor on the vast land, followed by a fully-glazed elevation to the north. asymmetrically placed windows further draw light into the structure and unvarnished timber orthogonally oppose the lines of the surrounding countryside and pitched roof.
