Coastal Home, Anstruther

Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Anstruther in Fife, a once unassuming 60’s house has undergone a breathtaking transformation that blends modern architecture with the tranquility of its coastal surroundings.

At the heart of this transformation lies a vision dedicated to optimising the awe-inspiring coastal vistas while completely enhancing the thermal efficiency of the house and embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle of the client’s. The design introduces a modern wrap-around extension that not only unveils sweeping views of the iconic Billowiness Beach and Anstruther Golf Course but also strategically captures the bountiful solar energy from the south, infusing the modern interiors with natural light. Moreover, it incorporates a comprehensive solar PV array and a storage battery, catering not only to the entire electricity needs of the house but also fuelling an Air Source Heat Pump for heating.

Beyond its aesthetic charm, this home boasts an impressive ‘A’ Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, a testament to the meticulous integration of energy-efficient thermal enhancements throughout the external envelope.

Rich timber textures coexist harmoniously with bold, contemporary hues, creating a captivating interplay of warmth and vibrancy set against the coastal backdrop. The minimalist aesthetic, a nod to mid-century design principles, ensures that every corner of the space feels meticulously curated and purposeful.
