WH602 - Vidlin, Shetland

Shetland is known for its unique culture, beautiful landscapes, and its relentless weather. For our clients in the village of Vildin on Shetland mainland, they wanted to build a house that would sit easily in the landscape, but also meet the latest modern building standards.

Our WH502 is not only highly insulated, it has an airtight building envelope to minimise heat loss through the action of the wind - a primary reason for high energy use in much of the housing stock in the Northern Isles.

Internally the spaces are generous and light filled. Externally the house has careful traditional whitehouse proportions, with the homeowners telling us that visitors believe it is over a hundred years old, unconvinced it is a recently completed HebHome. We take that as a compliment!
