Located in the rural Fife village, the 30 new homes for social rent are built to Passivhaus and Net-Zero Carbon standards. This makes it Kingdom's largest green development in Fife to date.
The Passivhaus standard, internationally recognised, is an innovative approach to designing energy-efficient homes. By utilising sunshine, shade, and ventilation, Passivhaus homes can maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while requiring significantly less energy compared to traditional homes.

Tom Barclay, Kingdom Group Chief Executive collected the award and said: "Working with our partners Campion Homes, Fife Council and Scottish Government on this project, Kingdom has delivered a development that brings modern, stylish and incredibly energy-efficient affordable homes to an area of Fife where affordable housing is in great demand. These homes are designed to meet the current and future housing needs of residents, integrate well into the surrounding area and positively contribute to the village.
Designed to exacting Passivhaus standards, these homes provide an environmental benefit through low levels of energy consumption and also mean lower fuel costs for our customers during the cost of living crisis."
The development at Balgove Road in Gauldry offers a well-balanced mix of family homes, cottage flats, and amenity bungalows. Surrounded by green spaces and with easy access to the countryside, the homes are thoughtfully positioned to enhance residents' well-being, blending community living with a rural setting.
