Location: Kirkwall, Orkney
Project Overview
This project was designed to meet modern standards for accessibility and energy efficiency, while respecting the character of the surrounding area.
Set on a prominent corner site, the development required a sensitive approach to design and materials. Our team managed the entire process from initial groundworks through to completion, ensuring a smooth delivery and a durable finish.
Key features include:
- 12 new-build, level-access homes providing inclusive, accessible living for a wide range of occupants.
- Traditional slated roofs to reflect the architectural language of the neighbourhood.
- Timber-clad façades with off-white dashing, creating a timeless, coastal aesthetic in keeping with the Kirkwall context.
- A focus on energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term resilience through high-performance construction detailing.
Flett’s Corner reflects R Clouston Ltd’s dedication to delivering well-considered housing developments that blend traditional character with modern standards — enhancing the local built environment and supporting community needs.
