Nordvest UK supplied high-performance timber-aluminium windows and doors for Outfield Farm’s sustainable luxury cabins in Perthshire. Designed to maximise views, comfort and energy efficiency, the bespoke glazing complements the cabins’ contemporary architecture and rural setting.
Nestled in the rolling countryside between Abernyte and Kinnaird in Perthshire, Outfield Farm has established itself as a unique rural wellness retreat offering contemporary, low-impact holiday accommodation with spectacular panoramic views across the Scottish landscape. The development features three distinctive sustainable cabins alongside traditional holiday cottages, creating an unforgettable off-grid-inspired guest experience.
To support the vision of creating highly insulated, architecturally distinctive accommodation, Law Park Properties selected Nordvest UK to supply premium timber aluminium windows and doors for three bespoke cabin developments at Outfield Farm.

Large-format fixed windows and expansive glazed door configurations were incorporated throughout the cabins to frame the surrounding countryside and flood interiors with natural light. The glazing design creates a seamless visual connection between indoor living spaces and the dramatic Perthshire landscape.
Outfield Farm's three contemporary cabins each have their own distinctive character and architectural identity.
Positioned high on the hillside within mature woodland, The Sheiling is instantly recognisable by its striking red roof and mirrored bathroom structure, creating a truly unique guest experience.
A bold black-clad cabin designed to sit confidently within the landscape, featuring a dramatic viewing deck extending over a wildlife-rich pond.
Incorporating a wildflower roof and exterior mirrored panels, Whin blends effortlessly with its natural surroundings while providing exceptional views across the farm and surrounding hills.
Nordvest's modern window and door systems complemented the contemporary architecture of all three buildings while delivering the durability needed for their exposed rural location.
The completed project successfully combines sustainability, performance and design.
Today, Outfield Farm offers guests a truly unique escape, with wood-fired hot tubs, wellness facilities, woodland walks and contemporary accommodation positioned to take full advantage of the stunning Perthshire scenery. The Nordvest glazing package plays a central role in connecting guests with that landscape while providing the comfort and energy performance expected from modern luxury accommodation.
