This superlative modern house sits high on a hillside in the Central Highlands, with panoramic views of the Cairngorm Mountain range and the Spey Valley. The architectural design by Archer + Braun is contextually driven, composed of three elements: the cottage, the timber link and the steading, with internal living space extending to over 2,880 sq ft. Combining the materiality of the local vernacular with sensitive interventions, each component is seamlessly interlinked by a series of glass walkways that frame the wonderful rural backdrop and surrounding private gardens.
