Coroflot

Description

a proposal for a retreat within a specific area on the south west banks of Loch Ossian, roughly a mile from Corrour railway station. The building was required to accommodate four people, with spaces for living, cooking, washing and sleeping, as well as a space for wet storage of clothes and other items due to the nature of the climate and land. It became apparent after visiting and choosing a site on which to generate a proposal that this needed to be sympathetic with the surrounding sensitive environment; as self-sufficient and economical as possible so as not to infringe on the existing landscape and wildlife.

A proposal was drawn up that could provide as much comfort for visiting walkers as necessary, taking advantage of the scenery and atmosphere of the location, whilst providing heat and shelter with only moderate consumption and impact. The resulting proposal was the result of attention to aesthetic and sustainable aspects which, although not essential to the brief, hopefully express some responsibility and integrity in respect to the site.
