Grand Designs - Turf roof on larch box in Skye
Wasn't too sure at first, especially when I saw the forerunner shown
as some sort of example - didn't like that one at all.
As it turned out, the one in the programme was a delight, and the
occupants (and their neighbours) came across as non-pitas.
There's a similar (but smaller) larch box on the south coast near me
and it's a total blot on the landscape - looks like a packing case
toppled over. The Skye-house architect managed to avoid that
particular pitfall, I'm glad to say.
