Dean Village Mews
Proposals for the conversion of an existing mews property in Dean Village, Edinburgh into a family home.
The existing property, currently in commercial use, will be comprehensively refurbished and altered where necessary to make it comfortable for residential use.
Natural materials are proposed throughout, with limestone floors, timber wall and ceiling linings, exposed mild steel staircase, and breathable clay plasters throughout.
The building’s external fabric will be comprehensively upgraded to exceed modern thermal standards, using natural and breathable insulation materials such as sheep’s wool and wood fibre insulation boards.
Low carbon energy systems have been incorporated into the design to give the house a very low carbon footprint, including a ground source heat pump, mechanical ventilation heat recovery system and rainwater harvesting system.
