Modular pod and holistic design is path to village independence

The sustainable modular homes, known as Nest Houses, will include a unit for staff and be manufactured by Scottish proptech company Ecosystems Technologies.

- 

Each pod contains a bedroom, shower room, kitchen and a lounge space.

The community hub will have cooking, welfare and laundry facilities and will provide a central area where residents can meet.

The site extends to approximately 0.4 hectares and it slopes gently northwards from Wallace Street down to Fairie Street and is enclosed by a combination of a 2m high metal fence and a brick boundary wall.

Replicating the existing model of Social Bite’s Village in Edinburgh, it will provide a beautiful living environment and intensive onsite support.
