Creag Mhor Cottage — Matterport Survey for an EnerPHit Retrofit

The Project

Creag Mhor Cottage sits in Onich, on the shore road between Glencoe and Fort William. The cottage is being taken through an EnerPHit retrofit — the Passivhaus standard for existing buildings, and one of the most demanding things you can do to a small Highland property.

Deep retrofit lives or dies on how well you understand the existing building. Before fabric decisions were committed, the cottage needed a complete record of its pre-works condition.

What We Did

We captured the cottage with the Matterport Pro 3 — every room, in its existing state. The result is a navigable 3D record of the building exactly as it stood before conversion: the layout, the finishes, the quirks that drawings flatten out.

For a remote Highland site, this mattered twice over. The design team can revisit the existing building from anywhere, any time, without a three-hour drive — and there is now a permanent before record to set against the finished retrofit.

The Deliverables

• Matterport 3D tour of the full cottage — explore it below
• Measurable capture data supporting the retrofit design
• A permanent pre-retrofit archive of the building

This is the tour we embed on our Matterport survey page — it’s a real, unedited example of what a capture looks like.
