We were approached by a property developer with previous experience in London who was looking to expand their portfolio into the Scottish Highlands.

This new-build project presented some unique challenges, particularly due to the compact size of the plot and the ground conditions.

The geometry of the house was carefully designed to make the most of the available space, while the foundations incorporated inset metal trays to support a poured, suspended concrete floor. This approach was chosen over the more traditional beam-and-block method to accommodate the site's peaty ground conditions.

Despite the complexities of the build, the project was successfully completed over a nine-month period.
