A Stunning One-Off House
in Rural Scotland
Project Overview
This case study explores the development of a remarkable architect-designed one-off house nestled in the breathtaking landscape of rural Scotland. The chosen location offered spectacular panoramic views, making it an ideal spot for a bespoke residence. However, the project presented significant challenges, including the need to excavate into the hillside amidst difficult ground conditions and limited site access.
Design & Engineering
The architect focused on maximising the stunning views while ensuring the structure was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To overcome the challenging topography, innovative engineering solutions were employed. The site required extensive groundworks, including careful cutting into the hillside to create a stable foundation. This involved addressing tricky soil conditions that could have compromised the building's integrity.
Conclusion
The completion of this stunning one-off house in rural Scotland is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and innovative engineering in overcoming site challenges. The successful integration of the structure into its hillside setting has resulted in a unique residence that offers breathtaking views and embodies a seamless connection with nature.
