Grandhome Charrette
The Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative (SSCI) is a Scottish Government Initiative which aims to create developments of high quality design that are distinctive, innovative and contribute to a more sustainable future and Grandhome has been selected by the Scottish Government.
