The images here are from our stay at the Eco-Village in November 2018; Alan Clarke, Adele Mills and Andy Simmonds joined our clients for a memorable few days on site. Key purpose for the visit was to study the test building built that year; install monitoring equipment in this building and existing orphanage houses; carry out site survey and investigate ground water level; determine specific site for future projects. Next building planned is a new house for 10 children and carer to live in – more will follow this first prototype. A school is planned for future years. The site is a 40 acre plot approximately 1 hr from Dar-es-Salaam.

Shropshire retrofit / extension
The project brief asked for dramatic increase of energy efficiency for this 1950’s semi-detached house, with a single storey extension to the living space facing the back garden. The budget was modest so it was clear that the AECB’s Level 2 Retrofit Standard would be a good target. https://aecb.net/aecb-carbonlite-retrofit-standards-level-1-and-2/ Our clients were a pair of novice self-builders, already armed with a good amount of research into the subject, allowing them...

Honeycroft
Our clients here had a small cottage with extremely narrow stairs to a limited head height loft area. It quickly became clear that a replacement dwelling was the best option. We designed a timber frame flat roof house; this has achieved Passivhaus target for energy efficiency. The completed project is not yet certified, but that is the clients’ intention. The house was built by local passivhaus / timber frame specialists,...

Hereford retrofit
Llanforda
A new replacement dwelling in Oswestry was complete in January 2020. A draughty 1970’s bungalow with subsidence issues on the site would have been expensive and difficult to improve to near Passivhaus standards of energy efficiency. After debate on pros and cons, it was decided to demolish the bungalow and build a near-Passivhaus two storey dwelling. This choice gave the chance to place the house to allow increased solar access...
