Tue 23 June, 6.30 – 7:30pm
Mark will show his and Mandy’s inspiring home, which is his third self-build.
Their choices were constrained by their budget and a narrow site, making for a challenging design for the team, including Mole Architects. The result is a beautiful, low-energy home. Some of its features are:
- structural insulated panels (SIPs) for an exact, well-insulated build
- triple glazing with low G glass to avoid summer overheating
- mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) for filtered, warm fresh air
- 2 kW PV system with iBoost to switch any excess electricity to hot water heating
- Low Energy Building Standard – “Passivhaus-lite”
- louvered cedar wall cladding and beautiful carpentry
See more details and photos in this Case Study.
In this interactive online tour you’ll learn lots about the choices and practicalities of a modern, sustainable self-build home.
It’s the first of this year’s Open Eco Homes online tours of inspiring Cambridge-area new-builds and retrofits, instead of our normal tours at the homes. Sign up at the bottom for information on other tours and webinars, when available.
