NEW HOUSE , ISLE OF COLL, HEBRIDES, ARGYLL

An existing 1970's kit house is being replaced with a new house which interprets the form and arrangement of the surrounding ruined croft houses in the ancient settlement of Sorisdale. The house has two simple, vernacular proportioned sections and a lower link section with a heavy dry stone skin hunkering the building down into the landscape. The seaward walls in the living spaces open up for views over the bay and beyond to Ardnamurchan. The aerial view below shows the site with the existing house on the right. This house was completed in spring 2010 and new photos of the completed building including the inside will be posted soon.
