A Stone House in Scotland with a Minimalist Spirit, Available for Rent

When the setting is as dramatic as the Scottish Highlands, it’s best to leave interiors simple. Which is why, when tasked with saving an abandoned, century-old stone house in the Scottish countryside for conservationist/hotelier group Wildland, Edinburgh-based architecture firm GRAS left the stone exterior intact but stripped the interiors.
GRAS kept the interiors limited to “a simple material palette of stone, timber, metal, and glass."
The living room has a tightly edited color palette as well, with a grey velvet couch and shearling chair.
Inset wooden shelves counterbalance the large window across.
The kitchen, with oak counters and barely-visible floor-to-ceiling cabinets.
The deep windows create space for a built-in dining bench.
A simply fitted bedroom features a custom bed with dark velvet pillows.
