Fiscavaig House – Best Building in Scotland – shortlisted, 2 Nov 2010
This small holiday house, located in the township of Fiscavaig on the western side of the Isle of Skye, deliberately eschews convention due to its unusual site.
The decision to lift the building off the ground on small piloti released the design from convention and allowed it to relate to the wider context – the views to the north and the sun from the south.
The form of the house deliberately narrows to the north, reducing its surface area, and leans into the weather.
