highland architects — Sustainable Architects Scotland

Good Ancestors

We don’t start with an aesthetic and try to work out how to make it sustainable. We start with what’s sustainable and use our creativity to make it beautiful.

A Culture of Community

Collective Self Build is an underutilised model. We’d like to see more houses built with community and connectedness at their core.

Simple, good, undecorated things

We have a philosophy in the studio, that good design not only can be simple, but should be.

On changing little

Occasionally, building requires a setting to be created, or a site to be transformed. In other cases, there’s an overwhelming sense that the less changed or manipulated, the better.

Planning Permission in Rural Areas

When looking for a site in a rural location, there are a number of things you should consider. We specialise in achieving planning approval on challenging sites, and are always happy to give advise on what options are available in your specific situation.

For Those Who Build

…“every architect who strikes or avoids a ‘snag’ ought to open the matter to his fellows”. In the spirit of Edwin Gunn, we want to share our personal experiences of building, snags and all.
