Upper Leochel
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
A contemporary residence set in the heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside, built using high-performance Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which keep the home airtight, reduce energy bills and decrease carbon emissions.
The sloping site was extensively excavated to carefully orientate the home and adjoining carport. Windows are triple glazed with a canopy positioned to offer shade in the summer and allow solar gain in the winter. Heating and hot water is supplied to the property by a renewable heating system. Clad in grey corrugated sheeting, smooth render and a sedum living roof, every element of the build and finishing specification has been precision executed.
