Location: Corrour Lodge, Loch Ossian, Highlands, Scotland, UK
Client: Corrour Estates Ltd
1998-2003
Design Statement by Moshe Safdie:

Corrour Lodge evokes the tradition of great Scottish houses and weaves
together remnants of the original Victorian-era great house on the
site, destroyed by fire in 1940. A glass vaulted Great Hall forms
the center of the house and is flanked by two masonry volumes, one
rectangular, the other cylindrical.

These volumes are penetrated by glass structures that are, respectively,
conical and pyramidal. Surviving original granite outbuildings accommodate
kitchens and other back-of-house functions. The split-face granite
surfaces of the new structure match those of the original.

Corrour Lodge is sited so that all guest rooms have views of Loch
Ossian, while walkways and terraces afford views of the surrounding
Highlands. In approving the design, The Royal Fine Arts Commission
for Scotland noted that the complex is destined to become one
of the few examples of world-class 20th Century architecture in Scotland.

Moshe Safdie's Corrour Lodge works with the remains of the Victorian
house on the site, destroyed in 1940 by fire.
A glass-vaulted 'Great Hall' forms the centre of Corrour Lodge and
is flanked by two masonry volumes, one rectangular, the other cylindrical.
These volumes are penetrated by conical and pyramidal glass structures.
The original granite outbuildings accommodate kitchens and back-of-house
functions. The split-face granite surfaces of the new structure match
those of the original house. The hunting lodge is sited so that each
of the eight guest suites have views of Loch Ossian, with walkways
and terraces facing out to rugged Highlands scenery.
The Royal Fine Arts Commission of Scotland noted at the time of review
that the Corrour Lodge is 'destined to become one of the few examples
of world-class 20th-century architecture in Scotland.'
