Grass-Roofed Sustainable Downland Home

This 4-bedroom family home replaces a dilapidated house and barn, designed with locally sourced materials to blend into the Downland landscape. Curved green roofs and large windows maximize 360º views, while energy-efficient features like high insulation, heat recovery, solar provision and a water borehole ensure sustainability.
 

The home’s orientation optimizes solar gain and natural ventilation, with roof and balcony overhangs providing natural shading. A perfect balance of modern design and environmental responsibility
