Working alongside Kirkwood Homes and Dornoch Development Ltd, Lippe Architects plans to deliver two apartment blocks each housing twelve, two bedroom apartments and four affordable cottages.

Each apartment block has been positioned to maximize views across the surrounding landscape.

Lippe Architects stated: “The concept for the elevational treatment was to create a simple, yet elegant architectural solution to respond to the grand and historic nature of the Royal Golf Hotel, the site and the settlement of Dornoch. Getting the correct architectural proportions was essential to ensure the new buildings fit cohesively into the traditional style of the locale.

“Due to the fact the site is a natural extension of the existing residential settlement it is thought that the cottages and apartments will provide a further link between the Royal Golf Hotel and the town centre, supporting the natural environment, character of the conservation area and amenity of the properties in the area.”

Should planning permission be granted by The Highland Council, construction is programmed to start Spring 2017.
