Standard Designs

Spacious, affordable, sustainable architecturally designed homes

Our Nordic inspired standard design range has been developed to offer a simple off-the-shelf solution. The designs are available in a range of sizes and layouts and can be adjusted according to your requirements. External materials, finishes, landscaping and the orientation can all be amended to suit the site.

NORD

NORD

Our Nord range follows a rural building architype that has been used throughout Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, North America & Asia dating back as far as the Stone Age. Evolved over centuries, the footprint is long and narrow to work with most topography and environments. We have included large expanses of floor to ceiling glazing, generous open plan layouts, a glazed gable and sheltered external decking. Clad with timber and sitting low in the landscape, the design has an organic quality that connects sensitively to its natural surroundings. The proportions have been derived from the simplicity of traditional agricultural sheds and barns. This ensures a structure that can withstand extreme environments whilst also connecting with our heritage.

JÖRO

JÖRO

Jöro (pronounced Yoro) is the Old Norse word for Earth — a fitting name for a range of designs created to connect the home to its natural surroundings. These homes embrace the landscape through expansive glazed walls that dissolve the boundary between inside and out, inviting in light, views, and a sense of openness.

A distinctive mono-pitch roof extends beyond the building line to form a generous overhang, offering shelter from the elements while creating a covered outdoor space that can be used year-round. This interplay of transparency and protection allows the home to sit lightly in the landscape while remaining grounded and weather-ready — making nature not just a backdrop, but a central part of daily living.

ARNS

ARNS

This range reimagines the classic form of rural Scottish homes for contemporary living — larger, lighter, and thoughtfully designed for modern families. With steep roof pitched roofs, symmetrical gables, and clean line details, the houses maintain a timeless quality. At the same time, their generous proportions offer a strong architectural presence that sits comfortably in the landscape.

Interiors prioritise volume and natural light, often featuring double-height spaces, open-plan layouts, and expansive glazing. These homes combine the familiar warmth of traditional design with the space, functionality, and flexibility demanded by today’s lifestyles — equally suited to hillside plots, woodland clearings, or open crofts.

Rooted in tradition, designed for today — our traditional-style homes draw inspiration from classic rural Scottish architecture, with steep pitched roofs, sash-and-case style windows, and carefully proportioned forms that sit naturally in the landscape.

These homes blend the familiar with the forward-looking, offering timeless character with everyday comfort.

DUBH

DUBH

Named after the Gaelic word for black, Dubh is a single-storey home defined by its dark timber cladding and bold, minimal form.   Defined by dark timber cladding and bold, minimal forms, this range of single-storey homes combines striking contemporary design with efficient use of space. Ideal for compact plots, downsizers, or those seeking a refined modern lifestyle, each home centres around a spacious open-plan core that brings kitchen, dining, and living together beneath generous ceiling heights. Large, well-positioned windows frame views while preserving privacy, creating interiors that are both light-filled and secluded. With a focus on simplicity, energy efficiency, and spatial richness, these homes offer modern living in a compact, elegant package.

HJEM

HJEM

Roof pitches in the northern areas of Scandinavia are robust. Layers of snow are heavy, therefore the construction of the roof has to be well engineered, which increases the depth of the timber beams needed for structural support. In turn, this has led to deep fascia and eavesboards which are a recognisable feature of this style. The Hjem range honours this tradition and incorporates a terrace to the front elevation, providing shelter to enjoy the elements in comfort. To suit the local planning requirements in your area, or your personal preference, a wide variety of external finishes can work well with this style.
