    About Us

    Unique Small Buildings 

    Described as 'architecturally fascinating' and 'innovative', Echo Living's buildings are unique. We are passionate about designing and creating sustainable, small buildings to thrill and inspire.

     

    Our timber buildings are designed to suit individual specifications. Bespoke and site-specific, the buildings are constructed  using high performance materials with strong eco credentials and innovative detailing, and our buildings' sustainability can be enhanced with an integrated off grid solution. We also design and manufacture beautiful one off fixtures and furniture  for our buildings' interiors 

     

    At our studio and workshop in southwest Scotland, each small building and its interior are skilfully designed and constructed.  Prefabricated, and complete with a fully fitted interior,  each one is  delivered to site, where it is installed by our team.

    ​

    We hope you enjoy exploring our site.
