A timber-framed, stone clad, self-build home in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides, has been praised for its sensitivity to place and exceptional craftsmanship. Caochan na Creige – meaning “little quiet one by the rock” – takes its name from the surrounding landscape.
Clad in Lewisian Gneiss, the very material that shapes the island’s dramatic landscape, the house appears to grow out of its rugged surroundings. The design shows remarkable resilience and restraint, balancing the demands of an unforgiving climate with a deep respect for the surrounding environment.
