House : Swinton, Borders, Scotland
Wellfield - Contemporary Scottish House by Oliver Chapman Architects

Apr 2006

This prototypical pair of three bedroom semi-detached houses has been
designed and built in Swinton, Berwickshire for Berwickshire Housing
Association for rent at an affordable price.

The appearance of a simple, archetypal form of a house has been achieved
by detailing flush junctions between walls and roof pitches, recessed
rainwater downpipes and discreet details to conceal cavity barriers.

The houses set out to raise the standards of sustainable design in
residential developments. Energy conservation methods employed include
the collection of solar energy through a whole house ventilation and
water heating system, glazed sunspaces, wind energy via small individual
turbines and rain water harvesting.

The construction is lightweight and quick to erect. Well insulated
breathable timber
frame walls are clad in cement fibre slates and timber boarding.
