发展政策局设计了建筑和景观，以及它们在能俯瞰爱丁堡城的彭特兰山边缘的一个乡村用地上的敏感整合。

BDP designed the buildings and landscape and their sensitive integration on a rural site on the edge of the Pentland Hills overlooking the city of Edinburgh.

该项目是高度可持续的，并拥有苏格兰最大的绿色屋顶，它在建筑物和蓄水池上起伏，有效地创造了一座新的小山。该项目目前满足了首都未来对淡水的所有需求。它通过重力式水力涡轮机产生自身的大部分电力需求，同时通过周围的排水湿地鼓励生物多样性。

The project is highly sustainable and boasts Scotland’s largest green roof which undulates over the buildings and water storage tanks effectively creating a new hill. The project now provides all the capital’s needs for fresh drinking water well into the future. It generates much of its own power needs through gravity hydro-turbines, whilst encouraging bio-diversity through surrounding drainage wetlands.
