Dualchas Architects

Dualchas Architects Skye and Glasgow-based studios, working across the UK. Inspired by place, we believe in "the architecture of restraint".

oss Scotland, England, Ireland, and further afield. Our work includes public and private housing developments as well as retail and leisure projects. We also specialise in refurbishment and renovation, transforming rural and urban properties. Our reputation has been built on providing simple yet stunning housing. We are committed to good design but also affordability, believing that good architecture should be available to everyone. In all our work, we pride ourselves on attention to detail, both in the sustainability of our designs and in the service we provide to our clients. Whether you are an individual, a housing association or a developer, Dualchas Architects would be delighted to hear from you

At Glebelands in Tongue, Sutherland, our eight-home development for WildLand is starting to take shape.

Set on a steeply sloping site, the homes are carefully arranged to respond to the topography, with the structure clearly expressed in the architecture. Lower levels are embedded into the landscape, formed in waterproof concrete and locally sourced stone. Above, cross-laminated timber creates warm, exposed interiors, while untreated timber cladding connects the buildings to their natural setting.

The main contractor, O'Brien Construction, is currently focused on the four homes below the new access road, where foundations, slabs and retaining structures are underway. Great care is being taken to protect the site’s existing stone walls and mature trees.

We look forward to sharing more photos of progress over the summer, with completion anticipated in autumn 2027.

The Dualchas house in Achnacloich is featured in the June edition of Scottish Field.

Emma Leask discusses the ideas behind the design with homeowners and Dualchas architects Neil and Laura Stephen and how they balance their lives between work, 3 children, and a menagerie of animals, including pigs, horses, dogs, sheep and a rather beautiful Norwegian Forest cat.
