Our competition proposal for new housing in the Hebrides, Scotland. The scheme makes use of existing abandoned or self-build structures in the landscape, which are then capped with a prefabricated roofing element, and lined with internal serviced wall panels. The aim of the proposal is to maximise the amount of ‘sweat equity’ that a home owner can invest in their own home, without compromising on building performance.

Cladding on the east face of Timber Frame House. British feather edge larch has been used for the main cladding of the building, with planed Siberian larch for the lower areas. The cladding has been taken across windows where there are concerns over privacy. The eaves detail has been designed with an integrated gutter detail to ensure there are no overhangs over the larch, and discolouration further down the line.
