Auchoish is a remotely situated farm steading which was distinguished by a very limited budget, a very difficult site access and a very small contractor.
These constraints on materials, energy and manpower lead to a more vernacular approach to the building – working closely with the contractor.
The plan creates a sequence of rooms and spaces - cellular and open, self-contained and en filade - that offer varied relationships to natural light, courtyard and open fields, exposure and protection.
