About Us
Based in the heart of the Isle of Lewis, Hebridean Spaces creates bespoke buildings ranging from our classic compact ‘Bothy’ design all the way to full homes. With every construction, whether small or large, high standards of quality and strength of build are upheld, which many structures over the Hebrides can already attest to.
It all began with the building of two accommodation rentals here in Achmore Isle of Lewis in 2019. A drive to develop more small efficient spaces has resulted in the purpose-built ‘bothy barn’ located down the croft, which is now in full operation. Having been battling the often unforgiving Hebridean weather for many years on various construction projects, I’m delighted to now be able to create new spaces in a fully controlled environment, meaning that from the very first timber cut to the moment its delivered to your door, the quality of the building is never compromised, all within an efficient timeframe.
My Story
My name is Innes Smith, I’m a born and bred Hebridean and I have a wealth of experience in construction and project management. My "standard” designs have come about from a lifetime of camping, boating, thinking, measuring and planning, all to figure out what is needed for comfort and ease-of-use in this challenging environment. With this in mind, no two bothys are the same. For each person I will sit down and listen to what you want and need out of your space, look at the proposed site and work together with you to make the perfect design fit for purpose.
I look forward to building the next new Hebridean Space with you!
