Burnside House Building Plot, Whiting Bay, Isle Of Arran KA27

Burnside House has been designed as a bespoke, one-off family home which embraces contemporary architecture and aims to achieve best practice in sustainable land use and ecology.

Creating a strong connection to its rural location on the Isle of Arran and embraces the climate of the West Coast of Scotland.

The brief for this private residential project was to create a dwelling that was of significant architectural design with high sustainability standards, whilst being suitable for a family.
The site sits on the beachfront, has fantastic coastal views, the proposal was designed to maximise these views, with a key part of the brief being to create a space where the evening sun can be enjoyed with a sea view.

The home looks to support the island community, by place-making through strong architectural identity of the area. The proposal looks to introduce Passivhaus principles, prioritising a fabric first design approach and organising the internal layout to help achieve an efficient mechanically ventilated system to reuse as much energy as possible. The design also prioritises low embodied carbon, ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing of materials. The project has a target of zero material waste and we have considered modular and offsite construction where possible.
