MAKAR's low-carbon, affordable homes are made from Scottish timber and are a timely solution to the housing and climate emergencies.
Energy-efficient terrace homes with quick assembly times
MAKAR’s modern terraced houses are inspiring places to live and highly energy efficient, with far lower running costs than your standard terrace house. With our offsite construction process, these homes can be assembled in just 10 weeks, from groundworks to assembly and external finishing.
Made from natural materials, these healthy homes can be built to Passivhaus standard, sequestering and storing more carbon than they emit. All of this is possible while meeting stringent affordable housing cost benchmarks.

Is your company on a journey to net zero, and struggling to house your workforce?
Are you a local authority looking to house a growing population in a climate-friendly and affordable way?
MAKAR terraces are your net zero low cost solution. The terrace is a timeless model and inherently economic, but when designed well, using advanced Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) methodology and digital twin modelling, we can create a sense of generosity of space, with all the associated health benefits from eschewing toxic materials, while remaining affordable.
Designed as carbon sinks, timber-rich terrace homes can also be a breakthrough in solving the UK’s housing emergency. The natural materials each home is constructed from store more carbon than is emitted during their construction. These homes can be assembled in a week and are highly energy-efficient, resulting in low running costs.
Affordable home testimonials
I’ve known for a while how they build their houses. I had no idea that you could be up to roof height in 7 or 8 hours. It’s incredible. It’s immaculate here, there’s no waste. It’s not a typical building site by any means. Everything is really tidy and well organised, and that’s got to affect the end product.
Alex Laing, Logie Estate, on visiting MAKAR's prototype assembly
MAKAR has a strong track record of innovation and collaboration, driving the adoption of digitised biogenic approaches and pioneering the Scottish Government’s ambition for reshoring though the utilisation of homegrown timber systems. They are experienced in delivering Passivhaus projects and I am highly confident they will address the rural housing crisis through their new terraced home solution.
Sam Hart, Head of MMC–BES–T (Modern Methods of Construction–Built Environment–Smart Transformation)
We built a MAKAR home 5 years ago, and it has changed our lives. It is so beautiful in terms of its design and what it feels like to live in. It is a real joy to live in. It’s peaceful because it is so well built, bright, and so easy to run. Everything works like clockwork and operates silently. It’s not just the building itself that is a great joy to live in, but all the services that have been installed, like the hot water and heating. We wouldn’t choose to live in any other kind of house.
Willy Roe, MAKAR home owner on the West Coast of Scotland
It is a huge opportunity. I’ve seen inside the workshop and the feedback from people living in these homes. It’s incredible. If we are going to solve the housing crisis, we are going to need local solutions. When you think about how often houses are built with materials that have come from so far and cost so much in carbon, and here we are with a building that stores carbon and hasn’t needed much transport to get the timber here at all. That is just amazing.
Emma Roddick MSP, on visiting MAKAR's prototype affordable home
I am very impressed and inspired by Makar’s approach to manufacturing homes to the highest standards using local timber. It has been a joy working with the team to help develop their designs meet the gold standard for energy efficiency, quality and comfort: Passivhaus.
