Fifty-two futuristic and sustainable houses have been constructed at Balvonie Braes, an elevated site to the south of Inverness, using public money.

Following an established model which originated in Finland, winning designs were selected from an open architectural competition. Judges were looking for imaginative, energy efficient designs comprised of responsibly sourced materials.
