As socially-minded landlords, Annandale
Estates were keen to ensure that the
properties they were offering for affordable
rent would be affordable to run too – while
still offering warm, cosy, welcoming homes
for their tenants.
The development was designed and
specified by Scottish-based architects, White
Hill Design Studio. The practice has a long
track record in sustainable and low-energy
design – acting as architects and lead
consultants for the award-winning Dormont
Park PassivHaus development, as well as
designing many other ultra energy-efficient
homes and buildings.
‘We help our clients achieve high quality,
affordable buildings that are deeply
sustainable’ says David Major, Principal and
Founder of White Hill Design Studio. ‘We aim
to do this without significantly increasing
build costs for the developer and with year-
on-year benefits to the end user and the
environment. That way, our buildings can
deliver social, environmental and economic
benefits and minimise negative impacts.’
