4. Richard Hands at FBN Architects
Richard was head hunted by the existing partners in the
summer of 2005 to run the then recently won Cul-
tenhove and Cornton masterplans in Stirling and
phased contracts to procure 500 + new homes.
Shortly after the successful completion of both master-
plans in late 2005 Richard was offered an associateship
with the practice, which he accepted.
Roles Within Practice
As a member of the management team he took over
responsibility for the following:
• Masterplanning projects
• Competitive project bids
• Design team leader
• Marketing
• IT management based on an Apple network
• Office property management
Partnership
In 2007 the partnership became a Limited Liability Part-
nership. Richard was offered a salaried partnership the
following year, eventually achieving full equity status in
2008.
Special Roles
Given the need for all housing associations to comply
with the upcoming changes to the Building Standards in
2010 which would adopt the recommendations of the
Sullivan Report Richard saw an opportunity to develop
the practices ‘Eco House’ project, which he was by then
managing, as a marketing tool to present to the prac-
tices major clients. This was achieved between 2008
and 2010 with presentations to twelve housing associa-
tions. Since then the practice has been appointed for 6
projects for 3 clients, to provide a total of 180 new low
carbon homes which are now complete.
More recently Richard has been successful in producing
a detailed feasibility study for a low carbon ‘retrofit’
project for 120 high rise flats in Dundee, which is now
also complete. As part of this appointment he made
successful applications for National Retrofit Programme
funding by the Scottish Government and ECO funding
from one of the main energy providers, the first in Scot-
land for an RSL.
5. FBN Architects 2005 - 2013
Partner since 2008
Private Housing
The Coach House Milngavie
FBN was commissioned to design a new private dwelling in the gar-
dens of an existing villa incorporating an existing disused sandstone
coach house. The linear nature of the new house is an attempt to
create a contemporary house that sits successfully in its sensitive
context, forming a relationship with the strong gabled forms of the
surrounding buildings and the existing coach house, thus utilising
rather than fighting against planning restrictions. The house is divided
into 3 entities, creating an assemblage of buildings reminiscent of
traditional outbuildings, rather than a single form. A double height
reception hall links the refurbished coach house and the main body of
the new house which gently steps down the sloping garden, culminat-
ing in a high ceilinged living space, flooded with light from the full
height glazing which opens out onto a generous deck overlooking the
existing mature garden. The upper storey contains four double bed-
rooms and the three bathrooms. The master bedroom is housed over
the main living space and shares the same garden vistas via a fully
glazed gable and balcony. The family room occupies the centre of the
house and provides open plan living, dining and kitchen areas which
pierce the envelope of the main house with glazed walls and roof
providing further visual and physical connection with the garden.
The Coach House builds upon FBN’s research into ‘low carbon’ hous-
ing and via the use of German construction methods combined with
micro-generation technology will result in the house being the first
‘carbon zero’ house in East Dunbartonshire,
Client: Private
Construction Cost: £450k Projected.
Tideways Burnham on Crouch, Essex
FBN was commissioned to provide a masterplan for the refurbishment
of a late ‘Arts and Crafts’ country house situated on the Crouch estu-
ary, Essex. The proposals include a complete restoration of the interi-
or of this 6 bedroom home, including additional bathrooms and
kitchen accommodation and all services. Additionally all walls floor
and ceilings will be insulated beyond current building standards, whilst
retaining the period feel of the house and a ground source heat pump
will be incorporated to drastically reduce heating costs.
Client: Private
Construction Cost: Confidential
6. Social Housing Projects
Charleston Square Paisley
Richard and his team beat off Page & Park to win this commission
with Loretto Housing Association in 2010. The design includes 37
socially rented houses and flats that surround a landscaped central
square and shared surface, 6 townhouses that line Neilston Road and
a courtyard building, which accomodates 10 supported flats for young
adults as well as a staff base. FBN Architects collaborated with Ian
White Associates on the Landscape Design.
The scheme when completed in October 2013 will be FBN’s the
‘greenest’ project yet. With many homes achieving an A rating. The
design is based on the ‘Fabric First’ approach researched by Richard
between 2008 and 2010, to ensure FBN’s clients could meet the re-
quirements of the 2010 Building Standards without the use of renew-
ables. The scheme also utilises MVHR and PV panels and is expect-
ed to more than meet the client’s requirement for a ‘Very Good’ Eco-
Homes rating.
The ‘Design Build’ contract is currently due to finish early and on bud-
get in October 2013.
Construction cost: £5.6m
FBN Architects Design Statement: “Our proposals are driven by the
desire to create a sustainable residential community of distinct char-
acter & lasting quality. The defining character of the proposal is a new
informal green heart which allows the architecture to form a backdrop
to this new recreational space. The architectural language combines a
contemporary aesthetic, a nod to local built forms and a response to
modern living patterns. Our view is that sustainability is the capacity
to endure, be it a lasting relationship with a friendly neighbour or the
enduring quality of your home. We want to encourage both. Our aim is
to reduce the burden of modern life by providing efficient, contempo-
rary houses by following our simple manifesto for achievable sustain-
able housing. Our intention is that this scheme will foster a sense of
community between residents and become a place where people
gossip in doorways, children scamper across parkland and where
someone can sit down and thumb through a magazine.”
Rona Anderson, New Initiatives Manager with Loretto says “Loretto
are delighted to be working with FBN Architects on the Neilston Road
project and offer our congratulations on the award of Planning Per-
mission. FBN have produced a very modern and innovative solution
to meet a challenging brief, and have worked hard to produce an ex-
cellent example of sustainable low-carbon housing at an affordable
cost to the Association. We are looking forward to the construction
stage and the Association is already receiving enquiries from local
residents about when the development will be available for let.”
7. Kildermorie Easthall Glasgow
Richard won two commissions to build the first two phases of this
regeneration project for Easthall, Glasgow. The 145 new homes will
significantly improve the housing environment in Kildermorie. The
designs were developed by working closely with the clients, Easthall
Park Housing Co-Operative and Moriehall Housing Association to-
gether with the tenants group, to develop contemporary house de-
signs, suitable for the sloping site. The interiors reverse the traditional
Scottish living room to the front, kitchen to the rear by providing large
living-dining rooms with French windows looking out over a rear ter-
race into the garden. The homes achieved a ‘very good’ EcoHomes
rating to help reduce energy costs and CO2 omissions.
Both phases, totaling 145 homes were completed within programme
and on budget.
Client: Eashhall Park Housing Co-Op
Construction cost: first phase £8.6m second phase £10m
Cultenhove & Cornton Stirling
Together with John Newman, Richard produced 2 masterplans for
these two problem estates owned by Stirling Council. A major element
of the brief was to engage with the local communities to develop and
achieve consensus approval of the masterplans by all Stakeholders.
The proposals also involved the use of locally-sourced and recycled
materials with high levels of insulation, and low energy in use. The
first two phases, one in each estate, total 166 houses and are now
complete. The designs involved the careful insertion of new housing
into existing neighbourhoods. If funding becomes available, further
phases may follow.

Construction cost: first phase £7.6m
