Taylor Wimpey launched the Project 2020 Design competition with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and chose the Infinite House designed by Open Studio Architects.
The design allows owners to customise their home including easy expansion in the roof space.
Mackay said: “It is great to see housebuilders looking at how they can deliver for changing customer lifestyles and the environment, adopting the latest technologies from around the world.
“We are all aware of the urgent environmental issues affecting the world we live in, and businesses across Scotland can play a vital role in helping to safeguard it for future generations through the delivery of sustainable solutions."
Graeme Oswald, design & planning manager at Taylor Wimpey, said: “We were delighted to welcome Mr Mackay here to see for himself the completion of our prototype homes.
