Bowhill Achieves National Gold

December 4, 2024
ECD is pleased to announce that our redevelopment of the Old Miner’ Institute in Bowhill, Fife secured the prestigious National Gold Award at the recent International Green Apple Environment Awards 2024 in the ‘Property and Estate Management: Regeneration’ category.
Undertaken for Ore Valley Housing Association Ltd. (OVHA) the redevelopment of this listed property took the building from a near-ruin to now providing 10 energy efficient homes for social rent.
The Green Apple Environment Awards were established in 1994 by the Green Organisation as an annual campaign to recognise, reward and promote environmental best practice around the world.
Nick Clark, chief executive at OVHA, said: “Securing this award vindicates the tremendous (and prolonged) effort made by OVHA and our partners including Campion Homes, ECD Architects Ltd, Kingdom Housing Association and The Scottish Government to save this historic property and restore it once again to the heart of our community. Where once there was a symbol of decline in our former mining town, there is now a prominent sign of regeneration and renewal through this sympathetic preservation of local history. We extend our sincerest thanks to all involved in this challenging project.”
