一个黑暗的峭壁表面形成了一个不寻常的背景，一个“抽象的棚子”的特点是黑色油西伯利亚落叶松覆层和铝屋顶床单。特别是杜阿尔恰斯建筑师玛丽·阿诺德·福斯特(MaryArnold-Forster)所描述的“只使用两种材料，没有其他干扰或装饰，就能达到规模、形式、位置和比例等最重要的方面”。

然而，这一严格的，甚至严格的概念，是一个慷慨，轻淹和明显的用户友好的四卧室住宅，一个五口之家在斯凯岛。

单层，开放式的生活区，到前面的网站，陶醉在俯瞰湖邓文根西岛通过一个实质性的玻璃条状的看法。相比之下，独立的半层卧室的住宿就坐落在后面的峭壁的阴影里。为了减少这座246平方米的大房子的体积，这些房屋被巧妙地布置成了两座连成一片的大房子-它们的规模依偎在一起，而不是在沿海地区令人压抑的地方。

Colbost House的整个布局-其中还包括一个单独的车库、木材商店和热泵掩体-从道路上看似乎是一个谨慎的、低矮的农业建筑集合，本质上创造了一个当代农场庭院的效果。每个组件都呼应了传统的黑棚(盖尔语中的Annes)。的确，一个位于通往新房子的轨道上。

在Colbost，建筑师已经有效地重新想象了传统的苏格兰高地作为一个超现代住宅的简单、坚固的白话形式——不仅在能源效率和领先的远程技术方面，而且在广阔的顶部照明空间中。这样做为新一代农村“黑屋”创造了一个模板。

Mary Arnold-Forster, the architect on the project, describes it as 'distilled to the most important aspects of scale, form, siting and proportion by using only two materials and with no other distractions or decoration'. Photography: Andrew Lee

The home appears from the road as a discreet, low-slung collection of agricultural buildings, essentially creating the effect of a contemporary farm courtyard. Each component echoes the traditional black sheds (annes in Gaelic) that pepper the island. Photography: Andrew Lee

The single-storey open-plan living areas to the front of the site revel in views over Loch Dunvegan towards the Western Isles via substantial windows. Photography: Andrew Lee

By contrast, the separate storey-and-a-half bedroom accommodation nestles into the shadow of the crag behind. Photography: Andrew Lee

The volumes have been cleverly arranged into what appears to be two conjoined blockhouses - the scale of which sits snugly rather than oppressively within the coastal landscape. Photography: Andrew Lee

The architect has effectively reimagined the simple, stalwart vernacular forms of the traditional Scottish Highlands as an ultra-contemporary dwelling. Photography: Andrew Lee

Despite its rigorous, even austere concept, Colbost House is a generous, light-flooded and eminently user-friendly four-bedroom home for a family of five. Photography: Andrew Lee
