Artisan Real Estate will soon be launching an exciting and ground-breaking new development in Edinburgh. Rowanbank Gardens, Corstorphine will provide much needed new homes in an extremely popular and accessible part of Edinburgh and this is one of the first new developments designed with a post-COVID world in mind whilst also providing intelligent new energy efficient design.

Responding to post-COVID living

Rowanbank Gardens has been designed to respond to the demands  of post-COVID buyers. The plans have been adjusted to meet the requirements of home buyers and the community following lockdown living over the past year or so and significant emphasis has been placed on the quality of internal space and light to create enjoyable home-working environments. The Artisan design team have made nature and well-designed outdoor space integral to the day-to-day living experience to promote health and well-being with homes designed around an lush internal courtyard garden filled with fruit trees, communal planting, growing beds, a natural woodland area; these features also acknowledge the heritage of the site as a former woodland nursery in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The apartments have been designed for open plan living with most having access to a private terrace or large balcony overlooking the gardens and a children’s play area contained within the courtyard.

There will be 93 homes available for sale and a further 33 affordable homes built.

 

Energy efficient design

Smart energy-efficient attributes have been central throughout the design with a focus on achieving low to zero carbon ratings. Innovations such as green roofs ensure benefits of surface water retention, improved insulation and ecology. With its fantastic transport links the development promotes a reduced level of car ownership and there’s also electrical charging points for each car parking space alongside City Car Club membership and generous secure cycle parking. The buildings have been designed to minimise carbon footprint and maximise daylight.
