In the serene setting of North Tolsta on the Isle of Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Greenstock embarked on the journey of constructing their dream home, aptly named The Old Dairy. After evaluating multiple building methods, they chose a timber frame construction facilitated by Deeside Timberframe, which proved to be the optimal blend of cost efficiency and customizable luxury.
Custom Design and Efficient Construction
Faced with the Isle of Lewis’s harsh weather conditions, the Greenstocks required a home that could withstand the elements while embodying their vision of a spacious, open-plan living area. Our expertise allowed for a bespoke design that included high-specification features without compromising the architectural integrity of their vision.
Enhanced Insulation and High-End Features
The construction of The Old Dairy featured exceptional thermal efficiency, boasting a U-value of 0.12 W/m²K, thanks to highly insulated wall panels and triple-glazed NTech windows. The design incorporated vaulted ceilings, an oak staircase, doors, finishings, and a state-of-the-art heat recovery and ventilation system. Underfloor heating on both levels added to the home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
An Aspirational Home
The successful completion of The Old Dairy stands as a testament to our commitment to delivering tailor-made solutions that align with their clients’ aspirations. The Greenstocks’ satisfaction with their new bespoke home underscores our ability to navigate complex requirements and deliver a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations.
Self Build Testimonial
“We knew we made the right choice selecting Deeside as their prompt response to our initial enquiry set the service level throughout the project. They were proactive at every stage, from improving our designs to allow more natural light to ensuring the kit was delivered and installed onsite successfully.”
