Remember the 60k home competition? Its relatively easy to build to that cost but do you know where I can buy one here in the UK even in a recession?

I have just one question: why does the sign at the corner of the street forbids you to turn right, into the street of this green concept house? Is it a joke or just a slip of the design?

Actually making something that works in these terms is a greater contribution to design than the starchitect waterfront objects that seem to be on offer as theheights.

If it's done mechanically, then there is default energy usage and tacking on a small heater is peanuts cost and energy-wise; if it is completely passive (year-round!), then they've done something truly remarkable. Still, I have to agree that it deserves some credit for being energy progressive... I’m curious how they introduce enough fresh air to such a tight building.

Especially considering that it's for affordable housing. If the self heating and cooling system work , this alone is highly innovative. The interior and that window view are a bit sterile but I'd still give it the benefit of the doubt. DD:
