Boreal house is a place to retreat from the world. The concept of the house is to experiment how nature spontaneous forces can shape in a Northern region of the world.
The Scottish Highlands are geological formations where nature can be seen at its bare form: Wind, light and rocks. The house will be the pure expression of the intersections and layering of these elements, and still offer the ever changing vistas onto nature.
The deep layering is expressed in the roof shape itself: a weave -within a weave- within a weave.
The view of the house for hillside walkers will be a moving event daytime or night-time when the house should be seen as an ‘extra-ordinary’ organism shaped by nature forces.
