Built at Achbeg, Ross-shire, last year by Dualchas Building Design, An Tigh Learaig (The House of Larch) is a simple timber frame family house clad in larch. Larch was also used to clad the Dualchas office, also on Skye. The larch for the office was supplied by Cromartie Timber. Both claddings will be left untreated and allowed to weather naturally to a pale grey colour. Care in the detailing and selection of heartwood timber will mean minimal maintenance and a life span of at least 30 years.
