Gleneagles Self Build Home

Gleneagles Self Build Home

 

The atrium has a feature staircase that is cantilevered from the internal load bearing walls with glass balustrades and open timber treads.

The key spaces in the house are a storey and a half in height, with the master bedroom suite featuring a glazed gable that gives a different, but equally stunning view of the sprawling countryside.

The client was keen to future-proof the house, therefore if the occupants can only use the spaces downstairs in later life, there is an accessible family bedroom with en-suite and all of the other necessary accommodation.

The client project-managed the Self Build throughout, taking twelve months to complete the house – with the building being wind and watertight within four weeks of starting on site. The client built the project for £1,100 m2, giving a build cost of around £450,000, with the completed house being valued at £750,000. The house was featured by Homebuilding and Renovating Magazine in their December 2014 issue. It was also used by Homebuilding and Renovating magazine as their marketing for the Homebuilding and Renovating Shows throughout 2015.

The house was also shortlisted for “Eco House of the Year for 2014” and the completion of the project led to AC Architects being nominated for “Self-Build Architect of the Year”.

 

“My new abode is energy efficient, cost effective to run and a delightful place to call home. This is in no small part down to the working relationship we formed with AC Architects and the support and information they provided throughout the design and build process.”
