Eco House

I saw this house from a distance, near Tarland, and actually thought it was a ruin. On further investigation I realised that it is actually a super modern eco-house, with sun panels, and grass on the roof. I tried to find out something about it but failed miserably.

Oh my goodness what a fabulous place to build your house and to make it eco is wonderful! I love the way it blends into the landscape ! Very lucky people to live there! Bit bleak in winter I would think though!

[Denise Wood]

Certainly would be interesting to find out more about it :)

the grass roof does look a bit ratty, I can see why you thought it was old! interesting find!

that's really echoing the landscape - interesting eco-house - googling, is it at Coull? Because part way down this article might be more about it: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/home/370799/building-dreams/

Love the rustic feel of the house and setting Issi. It looks like a beautiful place to be at one with nature. :)

Wow.. what an interesting looking house..

[Margo Sayer]

Fascinating! There's one such being constructed just 5 minutes drive from V. It's interesting to see it coming together.

that's really fascinating :)

I admire people who do this. It really does sit nicely in the landscape. Perhaps a knock on the door?

@shannejw Funnily enough, I came across that article too, but neither is the house. The one at Coull must be close though! Thanks for making the effort of looking!

Wow... fabulous looking building! Great shot!

[Milanie]

I could see how you might be confused from a distance - what a fascinating looking building up close though. Wouldn't you love to see inside??

Growing grass on the roof: now that's something I've not seen before.
