Slow Living in the Wild North

Sculpted into the curved hillside and clad with its honey coloured stone, Hill Cottage oozes drama yet blends naturally into the immense surrounding glacier landscape. Confident design, effortlessly combines the traditional and contemporary. Thoughtful, bespoke interior strikes the balance between spaciousness and intimacy. Warm tones and distinctive use of natural materials such as oak, raw steel and sumptuous fabrics is inspiring. However it is always about the view. This space does not compete with the immense ever-changing landscape, on the contrary, it demands you to slow down and drink it in.

The house has been designed with love. It is all about enjoying the moment, the person you are with and the small details which exceed expectations. Hill Cottage is a refuge which wraps around you providing solace & comfort.
