Quality
The Design Architect of Avenel is Hugh Petter, a distinguished
academic and prize-winning director of UK architectural practice,
Robert Adam Architects. Robert Adam Architects are world leaders
in progressive classical design, skilled in blending local tradition with
the latest technology. Their portfolio includes large country houses,
work for the Duchy of Cornwall and master-planning parts of Leith
Harbour in Edinburgh.
Executive Architects are Thomas Robinson Architects of Blanefield,
near Glasgow. They bring to the project extensive experience of high
quality residential design.
Planning Consent was received in October 2004 for the division of
the original estate into six plots and the construction of a high-quality
home on each. Outline design and construction criteria were set to
ensure conformity with local tradition, such as the use of white wetdash
walls and natural slate roofs. It was stipulated that a Detailed Planning
Consent should be sought once each design had been finalised.
As illustrated by the Plot 1 house each home will be constructed to the most up-to-date and exacting
standards using traditional techniques by a builder of the highest
quality and reputation. Supervision will be exercised by the developer’s
team of engineers, surveyors, architects and development managers.
