Description
An account of the resource
<p><strong>Tours of this site are now fully booked</strong></p><p>A Huf Haus is a state-of-the-art, bespoke, timber-frame design which connects living with nature. </p><p>The Huf Haus at Ascog, Isle of Bute, was completed in the early spring of 2011. The key objectives were to build a contemporary highly efficient house and to maximize the amount of glazing and at the same time be able to enjoy and connect with the outstanding natural surroundings. The house is orientated towards the spectacular views and opens up to the South to optimize passive solar heat gain. The design takes advantage of the slope, provides additional living space and helps to reduce the footprint of the house. <br /><br />Open floor plan living on the ground floor and maximizing the amount of glazing allows the house to open up to all surrounding views. The main building material is timber, which has been sustainably forested. The house is very well insulated; all glazing is triple glazed with excellent insulation values. Minimal energy from fossil fuels is required with heat and hot water provided through a ground source heat pump with electricity from 51 PV panels roof array. Off-site manufacturing reduced the build time to just three months.<br /><br />Guided tours by the owners Tony and Beryl Harrison will look at the architecture, construction and energy efficient features of the house.</p>
