Low Energy Renovation and Extension in Edinburgh
The proposals revitalise a detached dwelling in Edinburgh with a series of carefully considered alterations and upgrades. The scheme improves the thermal performance of the house with external insulation, new triple-glazed windows, and airtight detailing, alongside the introduction of an air-source heat pump, solar panels, and underfloor heating to deliver a sustainable and efficient home.
Internally, the ground floor is reconfigured to provide an upgraded accessible entrance, new porch and garage, and improved circulation. Key living areas are enhanced with modern floor build-ups and heating, while an accessible bathroom future-proofs the home. The upper floor dormer benefits from a new flat roof and cladding, with a green roof to the rear extension adding biodiversity and visual interest.
Materials are chosen for durability and to complement the surrounding streetscape, balancing traditional character with a contemporary aesthetic.
