With two young children at school to take up their time and attention, the Macalisters were keen for their self build to cause as little disruption to their daily lives as possible. “Energy efficiency and low running costs were also a high priority for us,” say the couple, who had a speedy build time and eco credentials in mind. The Macalisters therefore looked to find a supplier that would be able to offer the full package. They approached Cairnrowan Custom Homes to find the perfect plot and construct a bespoke house. They also wanted the company to take on the project management. “We loved their previous builds and liked their design style,” say the couple.
