Nestled amongst towering douglas firs with views of the Oswego Lake, our Southshore project is a respite of peace and quiet. Embracing minimalism and wabi sabi sensibilities, we sought to create a home that felt both expansive and intimate with an intentional connection to the outdoors and emphasis on natural materials.
What a beautiful, warm but expansive home with lots of light and views of the landscape just outside the windows. Designer Sara Gray of Grayhaus Interiors designed this forever home for her sister, who must be so proud. I can see the family enjoying this for many years to come, and thinking it’s just as cool 30 years from now.

Vriskaig House sits above Portree Loch (in the Hebrides – an archipelago off the west coast of the Scottish mainland), sited in a wooded hillside, bedded into its wild context with views across the water. Two volumes intersect; an arching, blackened timber clad form follows the contours of the land, from which a rubbled local stone front wall descends dramatically, concealing further accommodation behind. This blackened timber cladding and natural stone walling reduces the visual impact of the dwelling from distant views.The use of natural materials runs into the interior, a free flowing, generous but understated space. The rough and rugged environment outside is striking, viewed through large expanses of slimline glazing. Clayplaster walls, natural resin floors and ash joinery work together in a carefully curated palette.
This house is very much modern and minimal which offers no distractions to the beauty outside its walls. I could sit on that sofa and watch the view for hours. Designed by Bath-based architecture and interior design firm Room. Photos: Toby Mitchell.
