This design is for a private residence located at Chanonry Point. It is a one and a half storey building clad in local stone with a Spanish slate roof. The wrap-around design provides protection from winds and maximizes the limited space. It has generously sized bedrooms, two living rooms, and a snug area. Triple glazing and high insulation will keep heating costs low. The orientation takes advantage of views and sunlight.

My design is based on a
traditional Scottish steading
building. Steadings are long
and typically have stone walls
with slate on the roof. For my
design I have chosen to use
these aspects with a modern
twist.
The building - instead of being
long and narrow - is a wrap
around shape. This is for wind
Protection and because of
limited space on site. I'm going
with Cupa Spanish slate on the
roof for a clean cut and smooth
surface.
It is a one and a half storey
building with the master
bedroom having an inset
balcony.
The windows and doors are all
triple glazed so as to keep the
heating bill down. The building
is very well insulated so running
cost of the heating will be
minimal so I have gone with oil
central heating.
The inside consists of limestone
slabs throughout on the ground
floor with carpets in the
bedrooms and upstairs, the
stairs are oak.
The house has generously sized
bedrooms and 2 living rooms
with a snug at the south end.
Since there is potential for
holiday let I think generous
room sizes would be beneficial
for holiday makers.

Site Layout
Arial View of Finalised Layout
Photoshop Representation
Narrow Part of Site used for Driveway
The house is orientated
south-westerly. This means that
the living and dining room get
the best views accompanied
by the sun in the evening as is
the same for the master
bedroom.
The snug area will get a good,
but dimmer light in the evening
which in summer will be better
for relaxing as you wont have all
the glare and solar gain.
The house has three communal
areas it means that it is very
diverse, The living/dining is very
open and bright with access to
the outside whilst the snug is
quieter and more cozy. The
upstairs lounge is another good
space with attached Jack and
Jill W/C.
The driveway is accessed from
the road side nearest the golf
course as the turning area is a
one way and it means you can
access the house from both
sides rather than having to go
around to get in. It is a
switchback driveway with
turning space near the
entrance to the house.
The oil tank will be place behind
the wall to disguise it. The wall
on the other side is to act as a
wind barrier and also for privacy
from the beach side.
The adjacent house's views
wont be compromised much as
the placement of the house has
been thought out, they will only
see a part of the back side.

Finalised Floor Plans
- External walls to be clad in
exterior facing stone from
local sources.
- Roof Covering to consist on
spanish cupa slate with
precast concrete ridge tiles
- Insulation is Spray foam rigid
insulation all round supplied
by Greenco Insulation
Inverness, with mineral wool
between floor joists for sound
insulation
- Internal Doors to be Lincoln
softwood door out of knotty
pine, 6 panel design
- Windows to be UPVC fixed tilt
and turn with painted metal
effect coating.
This design is a combination of my
first and second concept idea, I
used the layout of number two but
the shape of number one. I chose
slate roof and stone cladding
because it follows the local
vernacular but with the design and
layout still maintains modernism
and a contemporary style.

First floor Heating
The heating system in this house
will be oil supplied by an oil tank
behind the wall next to the
driveway. I have chosen oil
because the house is so
insulated that it will need very
little energy to keep it at an
ample temperature.
To go with the oil boiler will be
wall mounted radiators as they
are very usable and can
change temperature very
quickly if the weather outside is
fluctuating as is common with
Scottish weather.
Heating
Lighting will consist of LED bulbs
to save energy. Upstairs is wall
mounted lights for visual effect
from the coomed ceilings.
Lighting
Both the rainwater drainage
and household sewage will run
into soakaways which will have
filtration systems so it will allow
them both to drain into the sea.
Water Supply
A cold water tank in the loft
space will supply the cold
water, this is because the water
pressure on site is known to
poor. I have located the W/C's
and kitchen close together to
save on piping with the
exception of the master ensuite.

Locks on the windows and
doors will be installed, motion

West Elevation East Elevation
South Elevation North Elevation
House Elevations
As you can see from the
elevations there are not many
windows on the right hand side
of the south elevation and on
the north elevation. This is
because of privacy issues.
Those are sides where the road
is or where tourists will walk past
frequently so I have arranged
the rooms in such a way that
this is now not an issue. The
kitchen has a long narrow
window and the same with the
study. The downstairs Bathroom
has a horizontal window which
is quite high and frosted. They
allow the light in but stop
people being able to look in
easily.
Upstairs I have put Velux
windows, this is to keep the roof
line simple and flowing rather
than being big and bulky with
lots of dormers.
This design is a combination of
my first and second concepts.
the layout I have taken from
concept 2 and tweaked slightly
as the general shape of the
building is from concept 1. I
liked the idea of the building
bending in an "L" shape
because its gives a sense of
flow and movement.
I didn't put a garage in
because I wanted to maximize
space for the house and views. I
feel a garage would have
imposed and for holiday lets its
not essential for a garage.

Sections
Upstairs I chose to use wall
mounted light fittings as I think it
will bring a nice effect to the
room. It will make them feel
cozy but with generous room
sizes it will still be spacious.
For my water system I have
chosen to put a cold water
tank in the loft space as it will
maximize useable space
elsewhere in the house and
gives optimum output for water
pressure as the site does not
have good water pressure.
As you can see from the
sections, I have decided to put
two stair cases in my design.
This is due to the house being
one and a half storey and
upstairs there is limited head
room so having a corridor
would be impractical. Having
two stair cases increases
maximum useable space.
Between the floors I have put
mineral wool Knauf insulation
for sound proofing. Since there
is an upstairs living room above
the kitchen and the master
bedroom is above the
downstairs living and dining
then sound proofing is a must.
I chose a one and a half storey
building because I didn't want
this house to over power the
other houses in the area, this
design will fit in with
surroundings but still be very
eye catching
