ABOUT MELROSE WATER TANK
140-year-old brick-clad building will be two L-shaped sunken homes.
Set in a 31m-by-16.5m concrete basin 3m deep,
The properties will have filtered views of the Eildon Hills from their upper terraces but would be largely invisible from public view.
Brick clad exterior would be kept and a barrel-vaulted pump-house would be retained as a store.
The plan is a simple narrow L-shape which utilises the existing structure on two sides allowing for glazed walls to the south and west to maximise solar gain deep into the building.
A staircase and service core is located within the hinge of the L plan and splits the wings into bedroom and living zones looking out into the sunken courtyard garden.
The upper floor provides the entrance at natural ground level and has been designed as a simple square timber-clad pod which opens onto a roof terrace over the bedrooms.
