Houzz Tour: A wood-clad Modern Prefab Home Scotland - The story behind this Scottish home is not your typical brick and mortar building tale. The property was built primarily off-site in a factory on the south coast of England, before being transported the length of the country in Aberdeen. The house was designed by Stuart Duncan using 3D modeling software. Thank you to the detailed model, he was able to send files to vendors and manufacturers, who manufactured the various components and sent them to the factory Stuart had rented on the south coast. There, the whole house was assembled before being broken down into six transport modules.
'I liked the concept of building inside, "says Stuart his unorthodox methods. "I had planned to entrust the construction of the house, but the company went out of business, so I decided to rent a warehouse and do it myself, he said. "It was sort of a pop-up plant." Everything was finely calculated, even the road trucks take. There was a particular corner ninety degrees on the road to a village neighbor that has been reflected in the size of the modules could be. "We knew we could build such large modules that we could get the site, he said.
Now the bungalow , energy-efficient home is installed in its new home, the soft wood flooring blend well with the wooded area and the interior spacious white make the most of the northern light.

This is interesting The house was largely built off-site and transported to Scotland in modules, which were then mounted together like a puzzle. It is built to the Passivhaus principles and is very energy efficient.
A critical feature of the property is its low energy design. The house is built to the Passivhaus principles, and much of its energy is renewable. "A low-energy house is made mainly by taking a first fabric approach: it has a super-insulated structure that is airtight, and key technologies such as triple glazing and solar panels, this means it will consume much less energy, says Stuart.
The mechanical ventilation is also used. This is a hidden conduit system which recirculates the air drawing in the cold fresh air and running through a heat exchanger which transfers heat from the outgoing warm air.
5.5kW solar panels are connected directly to the water heater, which can be used to heat the house. "All the produced solar electricity is used by the house," says Stuart; "The fridge and all other devices have the first priority. If this demand is satisfied and there is still an excess, then the second priority is the immersion heater. Once is satisfied, the third is the towel radiators. Finally, any excess will finally return to the grid. If the house is empty all day while almost all the energy is diverted. "

the walls are made of structurally insulated panels and coated ThermoWood wood, which is specially heat treated and resistant to fire. The rendering is white limestone K-Rend made. The idea was to make the house very low maintenance day for day.
Stuart deliberately kept bright and contemporary interior, opting for a white regime with a few pieces of furniture accent. He fitted the hanging lamps with bulbs changing colors that can be controlled using an application, so the color can be changed easily.

the main source of winter heat this biomass pellet stove. It burns wood pellets - a renewable energy alternative for gas, oil and electricity. The burner is connected to a wet radiator circuit that operates throughout the house, perfect to complement the low winter sun. The stove can be programmed much like a gas burner - it just turns on and should be kept in mind with pellets.

in keeping with the minimalist style of the house, Stuart went for a crisp white kitchen. The doors are MDF and the work plan is recycled glass, manufactured by a company called GlassEco that collects and recycles old bottles for custom work plans. The glass is ground and mixed with resin, and is available in different colors. Stuart opted for dark graphite contrast with white cabinets and enhance the stylish and contemporary look.

a separate door to the main room leads to the master bedroom with bathroom. Again, the interior was kept minimal. "I went for long horizontal slit windows in several different locations throughout the house," says Stuart. "I just liked the look.
The master bedroom has plenty of storage space with two large closets, and there are sliding doors on the opposite wall that open onto a south facing patio.
