This development of a vacant Forestry Commission site comprises 4 new build units of 2/3 bed family homes of two storey contemporary villas respecting the varied linear settlement pattern of Kilmun area. The design integrates the use of Scottish timber for structural frame, cladding and heat source with multifuel stoves located centrally in open plan living areas providing hot water with large expanses of glazing maximising daylight and open aspect over the Holy Loch. Felled trees on site and wood stoves all contribute to an effective use of resources providing energy efficient Scottish timber dwellings within a sensitive coastal location.
