Dualchas

At Dualchas Architects, we believe that architecture is not just about designing buildings, but about telling stories that connect us to the past, present, and future. As a renowned architecture practice, we have been at the forefront of redefining the landscape of Highland architecture for over two decades. Our journey began in 1996 when twins Alasdair and Neil Stephen founded the practice with a passion to create architecture inspired by the culture and landscapes of the Highlands.

Our Practice Ethos: Inspired by the Blackhouses

Our practice ethos is deeply rooted in the heritage of the Highlands. We draw inspiration from the traditional blackhouses of the region, which date back to the 18th century. Our approach is to create architecture that is not only functional but also contextual, sensitive to the local culture and climate. We believe that our buildings should not only stand the test of time but also tell the story of the place and its people.
