Tom Robinson was thrilled to win the Saltire Society Housing Design Award for Innovation in Housing at the Scottish parliament last night. The prize was for our ultra-eco Auchineden project /residential/projects/aucheneden. This deceptively simple-looking barn conversion was the first in Scotland to be certified to Passivhaus Enerphit standard, enabling the owner to live extremely energy-efficiently. The awards celebrate new houses that improve lives and make Scotland a better place to live.

Thank you to our client and everyone else who helped make this project happen: McDougall Surveyors for QS services, Graham Drummond at Passivhaus Associates, Peter Brett Engineers and WA Scott Builders.
We’re absolutely delighted that this project has been recognised for this. If you would like to renovate or build to a highly sustainable standard, give us a call.

We are excited to share some new project images on our website in paticular this sunroom extension. The family wanted somewhere to host their extended family and appreciate the beautiful views and garden in a light and bright space.

Delighted that one of our homes is featured in this months edition of the Herald Luxury magazine.
This was a very exciting project that required the design and build of a very large contemporary house in a sensitive rural location. Our clients love the mountains and this had to be reflected in a subtle way. We agreed on a wild outlook and four tall and dramatic chimneys in this expansive contemporary steel-framed design.

Catch Tom Robinson at the Scotland Build Expo on March 20th talking as part of a sustainability summit. As the first architect to successfully complete a highly energy-efficient enerPHit standard Passivhaus project in Scotland, Tom – a Passivhaus enthusiast – will talk about converting a draughty old barn into one of the greenest homes in Scotland. The house now boasts exceptional standards of year-round comfort with minimal running costs.
