What it is: An inland lighthouse divided into 2 vacation rentals
Location: Loch Ness, Inverness, Scotland
Year built: 1815
That’s interesting: Bona Lighthouse was once Britain’s smallest manned lighthouse.
Interior designer Emma Clanfield joined the project in early 2014. “I worked with the architects, LDN Architects, to design the built-in elements,” she says, “and made changes to the bathrooms and kitchens to make them more exciting.” Clanfield had worked on several Scottish Canals properties and was given control over the concept for these two vacation homes.
“I begin by looking at the building, its history, location and significance,” Clanfield says. “I then add my style, which is contemporary and comfortable. As I originally trained as a textile designer, I also work in lots of fabrics and textures, too.”
The lighthouse helped boats and ships negotiate the narrow waterway that links Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour. A lantern in the upper floor, in what is now the master bedroom, guided them safely.
