GRAND Designs really opens our eyes to some great properties, and this Scottish home is no exception.
Kevin McCloud traveled across the country in search of the coolest developments Britain could offer, and came across the home of Colin McKinnon and Marta Briongos a few years ago.

The couple’s stunning air barn home was built in Strathaven, and took ten years to build.
Located in the middle of an airport, it’s not your usual location for a house, but the views are impeccable.
The beautiful property was completed in 2019, and is definitely a standout for any aviation enthusiast.
However, it wasn’t an easy journey for the couple, as the Grand Designs crew has already been following their construction since things got started.
The first episode featuring flight instructor Colin and trapeze expert Martha aired back in 2011.
They explained how their future home would be built on Colin and his family’s land, which includes Strathaven Airport, Scotland’s oldest continually used airstrip.
They worked alongside Edinburgh-based architect Richard Murphy to create the dream home, and after ten long years, they finished their masterpiece.
With a curved metal roof and a huge round glass balcony overlooking the front of the property, it’s a standout place.
Its interiors are equally unique, with the couple choosing plenty of bold colors, from the signature yellow wall to the bright red furniture.
Back in June 2021, Colin revealed in an interview with the Daily Record that they plan to do it again.
He stated that plans are underway to build up to five more barn homes on the eight-acre plot.
