Siting and Contextual Response

This generous four bedroomed house follows the local pattern of a dominant gable facing the Tay River, its elevated site providing an excellent opportunity for spectacular views. A generous kitchen / living / dining space at first floor level has balcony access and large windows to make the most of the views.

Siting and Contextual Response

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, one at first floor and a luxurious master bedroom suite on the top floor and the house is served by a laundry chute to a utility room and dedicated drying room on the ground floor.

Low Energy Strategy

The client’s had no particular interest in low energy goals, but the Scotframe Val-U-Therm superstructure and high performance Rationel windows and doors still ensured very good fabric u-values and a very high B(90) – EPC rating.
