Our story

Neil and Alasdair Stephen in the 1996 Houses Built for Harmony featureOur beginnings, 1996 ↗

HebHomes grew from Dualchas Architects, founded on Skye by brothers Neil and Alasdair Stephen. We bring Highland architecture to a wider audience through adaptable designs and precision off-site manufacture.

From Skye and Glasgow, we help clients shape homes around their sites and lives.

Our approach

Designed to belong.

Our design principles shape how a home sits in its landscape, how its spaces feel and how it is put together.

01 / LANDSCAPE

A considered place

Simple forms, careful proportions and thoughtful siting draw on the Highland building tradition. Each home should respond to its surroundings.

02 / EVERYDAY LIFE

Light, space and flexibility

Generous glazing connects rooms to their setting. Adaptable plans give you room to consider how your home will work for you, now and in the years ahead.

03 / CONSTRUCTION

Care in the details

Precision-manufactured timber systems, coordinated kit drawings and specialist erection bring the design together on site.

What we do

Supply + Erect

Our core service is the supply and erection of your architect-designed kit house, including technical and engineering drawings for the kit.
