The location of this project is in the region of Lochaber, where high mountains, managed forests, water networks, the tourism industry and the history of removing natural resources define the land. To design the building, the team views the land as a connected part of a wide biological and social system instead of a separate area. In this area the nearby slopes, lakes, forest trails plus transport lines determine how people arrive at and perceive the structures. As a result of this setting, the site is an active space for people to watch the environment.

By using building methods that cause little change to the ground, the project reacts to the fragile qualities of the Highland area. It is the goal of the plan to lower how much the work interrupts the soil so that individuals can see the environmental features that are usually difficult to notice. For those reasons, the architecture is a tool that exists between the people who are there, the physical land and the knowledge of the local ecosystem.
