Isle of Skye grand design

Grand designs presented the couple Indi and Rebeccas vision to build their own home on the Isle of Skye; a home that gives life to the landscape as well as taking admiration from the natural landscape itself. Indi and Rebecca created a modest and environmentally conscious building, thinking about how the modern home would contribute to the historic landscape in a subtle way. The building grazes the skyline and blends into the countryside. The couples smaller art workshop complementing the main building and the surrounding countryside.

The buildings rural exterior dramatically contrasts with the crisp white and blue crystal interior, creating a thoughtful and captivating design. 

The two artists take inspiration from unusual pieces of earth, nature, surroundings and unique villages; such as the living and working ecovillage in Hornbeam.
