This stunning low energy house design by Simon Winstanley Architects has high eco appeal. Overlooking the Solway Firth in south-west Scotland, this slope house plan is built on a former quarry, mirroring the stone that characterizes the area and surrounded by a blanket of green unrolling at its feet. The stone home design is topped by a wood and glass enclosure that offers unending views of the surrounding countryside and the sea, lightening up the heavy stone architecture. This glass wall house area is built using a steel frame with cedar panels and triple-glazed windows, and is topped by an overhanging roof framing the outdoor entertaining areas. This eco sustainable home is green in more ways that one apart from its views, the sustainable house boasts recycled and Earth-friendly materials and technologies throughout, including: the masonry base is finished using recycled quarry stone; high-insulation exterior walls, floor and roof; triple-glazed thermal windows; heat pump for sub-floor heating and hot water system with a closed combustion wood burning stove for back-up heating; roof-mounted Photovoltaic panels; whole-house heat recovery ventilation system.
