Services
Passive House Design
Our Passive House designs utilise advanced insulation, airtight construction, and heat recovery systems to create ultra-low energy buildings. These homes maintain comfortable temperatures with minimal heating requirements while providing superior indoor air quality. Our certified designers apply these principles to both new constructions and renovations across Scotland.
Residential Conversions
We specialise in converting existing structures into modern, energy-efficient homes while preserving architectural heritage. Our projects include transforming schoolhouses and municipal buildings into contemporary living spaces that meet modern comfort standards. Each conversion incorporates sustainable materials and energy-saving technologies tailored to the original structure.
Sustainable Architecture
Our sustainable approach integrates environmental considerations throughout the design process. We create buildings that minimise carbon footprints through strategic orientation, natural ventilation, and renewable energy systems. This holistic methodology ensures both ecological responsibility and long-term cost savings for property owners across various project types.
Energy Efficient Homes
We design homes that significantly reduce energy consumption through innovative construction techniques and material selection. Our energy-efficient houses feature triple-glazed windows, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and thermal bridging solutions. These elements work together to create comfortable living environments with dramatically reduced heating requirements and operating costs.
New Build Houses
Our new build projects combine architectural creativity with technical precision to create unique living spaces. We work closely with clients to develop bespoke designs that maximise site potential while meeting sustainability targets. From modest family homes to luxury properties, each project benefits from our expertise in energy-efficient construction and passive design principles.
