The house is located on a spectacular site overlooking the Solway Firth. The site is a steeply sloping, former quarry in a National Scenic Area. Designed by Simon Winstanely Architects. The house has been future proofed with the following low energy features:
- The external walls, floor and roof are insulated to a high standard and air infiltration is minimized.
- Triple glazed windows with warm edge spacer bars, thermally broken frames and inert gas filled to achieve a whole window u-value of 0.7W/m2K.
- Heat pump using a borehole as the ground source for the underfloor heating and hot water system with a closed combustion wood-burning stove as back up.
- Micro generation of renewable electricity using roof mounted Photovoltaic Panels.
- Whole house heat recovery ventilation system.
