By GlobalDataThe design of the new development is set to achieve low to zero carbon rating development.
The smart building design includes more open space and landscaped environment to promote well-being.
Homes on the site are designed around an internal courtyard garden which will be filled with fruit trees, communal planting and growing beds.
It also will include a natural woodland area, formal lawns and a children’s play park.
The apartments at Rowanbank Gardens site are designed to provide easy access to a private courtyard or large balcony overlooking the gardens.
Artisan Scottish regional manager David Westwater was quoted as Propertyfundsworld.com as saying: “We are all excited to start at Rowanbank Gardens, which promises to significantly raises the industry bar on sustainable homes development.
“At its heart is a sustainable design which reflects the demands of modern life, with buildings designed to minimise carbon footprint and maximise daylight.
“Significant emphasis is placed on the quality of internal space and light to create enjoyable home-working environments, whilst accessible gardens and landscaping promote health and well-being by making nature and well-designed outdoor space integral to the day-to-day living experience.”
