Taigh na Coille - House of the Woods - is a new sustainable two-bedroom cabin on Sutherland’s wild Atlantic coastline. A core ambition of the project was to create a building that has minimal impact on the environment, achieves Passive House levels of insulation and uses low-carbon materials.
Our Charcoal Walnut was chosen for the kitchen to create a link between the material language of the house and the everyday kitchen space.
A core ambition of the project was to minimise the local and global environmental impacts of the building by adopting
a rigorous approach to sustainability that is holistic, defined, measurable and robust. The design targeted the most
stringent standards of the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, which will be tested now that the building is in use.
