HebHomes featured in Coast magazine

We are delighted to see one of our recently completed HebHomes featured in the June 2026 edition of Coast magazine.

The article, titled “Kit Homes for the Coast”, explores how architect-designed kit homes can offer a faster, more predictable route to building in beautiful coastal locations — without compromising on design, quality or sense of place.

The featured home, overlooking the sea near Oban, was designed for a family who wanted a practical, warm and atmospheric coastal home that made the most of its setting. With its simple form, dark external finish and carefully framed views, the house sits comfortably in the landscape while giving the owners generous, light-filled spaces inside.

In the article, HebHomes co-founder Alasdair Stephen explains how our approach differs from a traditional build. By using a carefully developed timber kit system, much of the complexity is resolved before work begins on site. This helps reduce uncertainty, speed up construction and give clients greater confidence over programme, performance and cost.

The feature also highlights the owner’s experience of building in a remote coastal location, the benefits of a fabric-first approach, and the pleasure of living in a house designed around sea views, changing light and everyday family life.

For anyone dreaming of building by the coast — whether in Scotland, the islands, or elsewhere in the UK — it is a lovely example of how a HebHomes kit can help turn a challenging rural plot into a beautiful, efficient and highly personal home.
