PRACTICE
Wild Studio Architecture + Design is a small practice based in the Scottish Highlands, established in 2019 by Architect Victoria Hazell.
The practice specialises in residential architecture, including new build homes; renovations and extensions to existing homes; and conversions - bringing new life to existing buildings and structures. Our aim is to create high quality, rational architecture through a rigorous design approach.
We work across the Highlands and Islands, and Moray.

DESIGN APPROACH
The following key principles are incorporated into our design process:
UNIQUE
As every project and client is different, we don’t believe in pre-conceived designs, instead approaching each project with a fresh outlook.
CLIENT-FOCUSED
With careful consideration of budget and timescale, we will work closely with our clients to establish the brief, then maintain an open dialogue as the design evolves. We aim to ensure a personal service and value for money.
OF THE PLACE
We believe architecture should belong to the place, with design solutions which respond to specific site conditions and utilise light to its best advantage. Buildings which sit naturally within the landscape, using materials that reflect and respond to the place.
SUSTAINABLE
Wherever possible we aim to incorporate renewable technologies and use locally-sourced and natural materials in our projects, as we have a responsibility to reduce environmental impact.
DELIGHTFUL
Our ultimate aim is to create finely detailed, comfortable, beautiful spaces to enjoy and in which to capture many happy memories.
Projects can be visualised in 3D to help clients get a feel for the building and interior spaces.
