EcoBuild Residential Complex

A 24-home low-energy community with solar roofs, heat pumps and timber-frame terraces around a shared courtyard.

Overview

24 Homes, One Shared Landscape

The EcoBuild brief asked for genuinely low-energy family housing at a normal build cost. Our answer: super-insulated timber-frame terraces oriented for winter sun, air-source heat pumps, rooftop solar, and rainwater harvesting — wrapped in brick, timber, and planting that softens the whole street.

Residents report heating bills roughly two-thirds below their previous homes, and the shared courtyard garden has become the social heart of the development.

The Challenge

A tight urban plot with strict daylight rules and a net-zero-carbon planning condition.

Our Approach

Stepped massing for daylight, prefabricated timber cassettes for speed, and renewables sized per plot.

The Outcome

Fully let before completion, 93% resident retention, and an EPC A rating on every home.
