The recluse retreat
HARLOSH BLACK H, ISLE OF SKYE
A slick hideaway set in the most dramatic of Skye scenery, this building seeks to protect its inhabitants from the rugged landscape and harsh elements, while immersing them fully within both. Glasgow-based architectural studio Dualchas was enlisted to oversee the project, modelling the property on traditional Scottish longhouses. Externally, the building is clad in black timber, creating a sharp but welcome contrast with the natural setting. Inside, make way for clean lines and a distinctly Scandinavian design language. Sleeping just two, Harlosh Black h is something of a love nest, but when it’s time to get out and explore, you’ll find yourself surrounded in all directions by croft, backed on one side by the Macleod’s Tables and the other by serene waters. Spot sea eagles, otters, dolphins and the odd sheep or two, grazing merrily on the land. If you’re after some time to yourself and a dose of peace and quiet, there’s really nowhere better. Just imagine waking up to that sweeping, cinematic view.
