Ewan Cameron Architects secure planning for Ayrshire Passivhaus
September 24 2012
Located above the village of Dunlop it will incorporate a range of renewable energy systems including photovoltaic panels and a vertical axis wind turbine to take advantage of its hillside position.
A master suite bedroom will project above the ridge of the hill to offer westward views to the Isle of Arran.
Insulated to the north by the bulk of the existing hill the homes main living spaces will be situated to the south across a landscaped ‘Zen’ garden replete with its own reflecting pool.
Due for completion in summer 2013 the scheme follows completion of Capel Manor House, to be featured in this year’s Architecture Scotland Annual.
Building work will start on site immediately
Living spaces are organised to maximise views our from the sunken site
Much of the tank interior will be given over to a sheltered garden
The home will be clad in pre-patinated copper and natural stone

I like it; because the house is passive the occupants are doing their best to counteract it - by being a 3 car household (or 5 if the garage is full too) :)
