Pioneering Innovation in Sustainable Living

Sonny Gowans
In today’s fast-changing world, reimagining the way we construct and inhabit our buildings has never been more crucial.

We take pride in leading the charge by embracing innovative construction techniques and sustainable design principles to craft homes that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. In this blog post, we invite you to explore the cutting-edge features that make our current development in London, NW2 a trailblazer in sustainable living.

A Lighter, Stronger Steel Superstructure

Every great building begins with its structural foundation. We went beyond conventional concrete frameworks by introducing a steel superstructure that is not only robust but significantly lighter. This ground breaking innovation not only reduces our ecological footprint but also enhances the building’s thermal efficiency, creating a more energy-efficient and comfortable living environment.

Enhanced Air Tightness Through Sealed Building Fabric

Achieving airtightness in our homes is a pivotal step towards curbing energy wastage. The building’s fabric is meticulously sealed to minimise air leakage, ensuring a consistent indoor climate year-round. This translates to decreased heating requirements, resulting in lower utility costs for our valued residents.

Optimal Insulation with Triple Glazed Windows

Windows often serve as a primary source of heat loss in buildings. To combat this issue, we’ve incorporated triple glazed windows that deliver superior insulation. This not only keeps your home cozy and energy-efficient but also reduces your carbon footprint.

Our dedication to redefining the way we build and inhabit our homes is unwavering. Our innovative approach to construction, sustainable design, and energy-efficient features not only reduces our environmental impact but also elevates our residents’ quality of life. With state-of-the-art solar panels, advanced ventilation systems, and a strong focus on low-carbon sustainable housing, we take pride in offering a forward-thinking, all-electric living experience that is both comfortable and cost-effective.

Sustainable living innovations with c120 solar panels on the development

Join us in embracing a more sustainable future, where cutting-edge technology harmonises with eco-conscious living. Your home isn’t just a place to reside; it’s a testament to a brighter, greener tomorrow. Experience the future of sustainable living with us today.
