Inside Kabn.

Kabn is two off-grid cabins for two on the shore of upper Loch Fyne, between Cairndow and Inveraray in Argyll, standing more than 100 metres apart on their own stretch of shoreline with the Arrochar Alps rising to the east. Each is a 27-square-metre one-bedroom suite with tall ceilings, full-height glass onto the loch and a king-sized bedroom with its own bathroom. Shio has a slatted glass gable and Teru a sweeping glass corner, so pick the window you like best.
