Full details
The design was developed in collaboration with a manufacturer working at the forefront of sustainable construction, resulting in a highly adaptable housing ‘product’ that exceeds all current energy use requirements. Following a ‘fabric first’ approach, it achieves Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 with a Code Level 6 external building envelope. Although designed as part of a terraced scheme, it can be easily adapted to work with detached, semi-detached or multiple occupancy typologies.

Testimonials
Low carbon, low cost and quick to build. This approach shows a remarkable level of innovation, and a practical and deliverable design.
In consultation this was a popular scheme. The public especially liked the bright and cheerful facades, and the variety of colours and materials. This was a good response to the brief, giving an active and animated addition to the streetscape.
