Tokavaig Property The Shed, Tokavaig, Isle of Skye, Western Isles, northwest Scotland 2006 Architects: Dualchas Building Design Featured on Dream Homes - ITV 1, 12 Jul 2009 Client: Mary Arnold-Forster Engineer: John Peden Associates Contractor: K2S Cost: £200,000 The Shed, Skye News Release - 9 Jan 2009: A Dualchas Project on the Isle of Skye has been shortlisted for the prestigious AJ Small Projects Awards for 2009. The Shed, in Tokavaig on the Sleat peninsula, is the home of Dualchas architect Mary Arnold-Forster, and is one of 24 projects from across the UK to have made the shortlist. The house will be exhibited at New London Architecture and other venues around the UK throughout the year, as well as feature in the architecture journal, the AJ. The overall winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on the 4th of February. Ground floor – entrance lobby, three bedrooms, bathroom, shower room kitchen/ dining, living room Upper floor –living room, study, bathroom, bedroom With the first grant-aided exhaust-air heat pump in Scotland to power the under-floor heating and hot-water system, together with solar panels and over-insulation, this corrugated and larch clad ‘shed’ should prove economical in the extreme. External shutters can be slid into place on a track in front of the large area of glazing to bring a sense of protection during the wild Highland winter storms. While there is under-floor heating throughout the house, a large woodburning stove has been installed to provide an additional point of focus in the downstairs open-plan living/dining area. To make the best use of the location and views, the siting and layout of this structure was key. Upstairs a cantilevered picture window gives a view of the Cuillin mountain range while the large area of glazing downstairs faces south-west to the sea loch and across to the islands of Rhum and Canna.
