The 82 homes, and 1,405 square metres of work space were built in 20002002. The project was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2003.

Zero energyThe project is designed to use only energy from renewable sources generated on site. There are 777 m of solar panels. Heating and electricity are produced by tree waste.

Energy efficientThe houses face south to take advantage of solar gain, are triple glazed, and have high thermal insulation.

High qualityThe apartments are finished to a high standard to attract a more comfortable way of life.

Water efficientMost rain water falling on the site is collected and reused. Appliances are chosen to be water-efficient and use recycled water when possible to water the plants in gardens and greenhouses. A "Living Machine" system of recycling waste water was installed, but is not operating.

The inside of the house...

The inside of the house is very bright because of the huge
balcony doors that let sunshine get into the house.In this way the houses save energy for lighting and heating, which is cheaper and more eco-friendly.

The furniture, the floor and most things in the house are made of wood.

People in Beddington live happily with their GREEN GARDENS.
