The Field House, Avernish – Scotland
A collaboration between Skye-based architects Rural Design and James MacQueen Building Contractors also on Skye, The Field House is an R House concept, founded on traditional highland barns and designed to sit comfortably in the landscape.

MHRV recovers up to 95% of the heat from the exhaust air making the house incredibly energy efficient and super-comfortable to live in.
The house has been decorated using paint from the environmentally responsible Isle of Skye Paint Company.
