Custom Builds - Current Projects
We are currently working on a number of private house building projects around Dumfries and Galloway and South Ayrshire ranging from new builds to conversion of existing structures.
The Ropeworks
The Ropeworks is a new house build in South West Scotland. The second storey is clad in timber and it features vaulted ceilings and exposed Glulam ridgebeams to the upper floor. The master bedroom has an ensuite, dressing room and balcony access through sliding patio doors. There are 5 bedrooms and the ground floor features large open plan kitchen/dining living area with extensive floor to ceiling glazing.
Bellymill
Two bedroom house with integrated garage near Laurieston. It has a sunroom off the living room.
Barfil
An extension to an existing farmhouse comprising a wheelchair accessible annexe and link space.
The annexe incorporates passive house principles and provides open plan living / kitchen / dining areas, opening onto a partially covered terrace, and 2 bedrooms. Materials for the annexe make reference to the traditional palette of the existing farmhouse with slate roof, rendered walls and traditional sandstone features. In contrast, a more contemporary approach to the link features a standing seam zinc roof, timber cladding and a glazed south facing elevation.
Yew Tree Cottage
Extensive alterations and extensions to a house near Port William
Woodside Cottage
This new 3 bedroom house in Minnigaff will have a kitchen/diner, lounge and sunroom. There is a large utility room, main bathroom and ensuite.
Balminnoch
This three bedroom one and a half storey vernacular lodge is being built near Glenluce in Wigtownshire.
Kirkbride Farm Holiday Cottages – Mill Wheel Cottage
This new home will be used as a holiday let. It is being built near Port Logan in Dumfries and Galloway and will perfectly compliment Dundrum Cottage and Inchmalloch house which we have already built for the same client. The quality finishing in our new homes are perfect for those looking to develop holiday lets.
Laggan near Gatehouse of Fleet
This new home near Gatehouse will have three bedrooms on the upper floor with the main bedroom incorporating a dressing room and ensuite bathroom. Downstairs there will be a lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility room and study. A gallery overlooks the dining room from the upper floor.
This house was designed by Girgan J. Architecture, Gatehouse of Fleet
New House - near Castle Douglas
This three bedroom single storey house forms an L shape with the principle living areas addressing the view and the bedroom wing looks East. The garage completes a U-shape on the site giving a sheltered entrance from the enclosing courtyard.
The central conservatory is an indoor/outdoor space which can be opened up in fine weather.
New Flats in the Southern Machars
A new development of 9 apartments, with sea views, in the Southern Machars. 3b construction will begin work on these new apartment situated in the very near future.
The Kennels
On this challenging project our team will be extensively refurbishing an existing building and constructing two new wings of accommodation. These new wings will be separated from the existing by a glazed hallway. These wings will be situated at the top of a steep bank to make the most of the views and be supported by a steel frame.
The structure includes mono-pitch roofs clad with standing seam zinc and the walls are clad with self coloured render and panels of zinc. There is extensive glazing to the public rooms and clerestory glazing has been incorporated to provide south light to these rooms. A ground source heatpump will be installed with underfloor heating throughout
57 Ardlochan Road – South Ayrshire
The first stage of this project will be to demolish and remove the existing property on this plot of land. A new house will be built as a replacement.
The house has been designed to reflect, in a contemporary form, the style and character of the Arts and Crafts properties typically found in Troon and Turnberry.
The materials which will be used in construction will therefore be of a high quality consisting of plain clay tiles to the roof, zinc roofing and cladding to the dormers and rear dining room roof and white self coloured render to the external walls. The sills, basecourses and chimney cope will be finished in natural sandstone. We will be using our 200mm closed panel system for the main structure which will be manufactured at our off-site facilities.
