An ambitious off-grid self-build home for a young family who recently relocated to the Scottish Highlands. The design responds to the remote rural setting, balancing the need for resilience with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Planning approval was secured in March 2025, and the project is now in technical design.

The home is being developed with a vegan-friendly specification for insulation and materials, reflecting the clients’ values and way of life. Off-grid energy and water systems are being explored to ensure the house can operate independently and sustainably. For the clients, this project is not just about building a home, but about creating a new life rooted in care for the environment and wellbeing for their children.
