Corrie Church
Client – Private Corrie Church, built in 1887 and overlooking Loch Torridon in the north-west Highlands, was recently converted into a family home and infinity swimming pool. This project combined the old and new in an outstanding location on the shore of Loch Torridon. The core of the project is formed from the remains of a former church building, this incorporates the main living spaces within a volume that recalls the open volume and diagonal roof structure of the original building and extensive glazing. Cdmm(uk) were appointed as Building services consultants on this exciting development. Our main brief was to ensure all services remained discreet within the building and sympathetic to the existing structure. The Leisure pool plant was housed within a below ground plant room to ensure best acoustic separation from the living space. One of our main concerns on this project which we identified following our thermal modelling exercise was the extent of glazing and the resultant heat gains to the space. Through careful design and co-ordination we developed a cooling system that was incorporated into the underfloor heating there by creating a cooled surface on the floor during times of high heat gain. -

Lundies House, Tongue
Lundies is a restored former manse located in the Kyle of Tongue. It is run as a boutique hotel offering guests a unique experience differing from the other forms of accommodation on the NC500. This is very much in keeping with the aspiration of the unique experience to be delivered for the proposed development in Lochcarron. Cdmm (UK) developed the contract Mechanical & Electrical designs and specification working in collaboration with the other appointed design team members from concept to completion. In keeping with all the Wildland projects the building was unique in character, style and condition though and required an extremely high level of care and co-ordination to deliver a very high standard of facility. Our experience in delivering this type of building would be key in the design and delivery of other unique hotels in the Highlands based in remote and ecologically sensitive locations. As Low Carbon Consultant energy use is paramount to us and vital to this client. Integrating renewable technologies within historic structures has been particularly challenging. The primary method of heating for this facility was a Ground Source Heat Pump into Lundies which was selected following a detail energy appraisal completed by us at an early stage of the project. During the design process cdmm(UK) organised design and co-ordination workshops with various specialists such as automatic controls, lighting controls, natural ventilation, sprinkler system and underfloor heating. This was carried out to ensure a comprehensive detailed design proposal could be submitted to the installing contractor. All of the above systems need to be carefully co-ordinated when installing within an existing structure. -
