Open Homes Saturday 10th November 2018

Meadow Orchard, N8

This is an ecobuild project on a community growing space/nature reserve.
The construction is straw bale and cob, with a reclaimed timber roof.

Pages Hill, N10


Semi-detached Edwardian property with low cost, largely DIY work to increase energy efficiency. Features include:

  • External insulation
  • Wood burning stove
  • Solar panels
  • Triple glazed French doors and window in loft studio
  • LED lighting.

Myddleton Road N22

Deep retrofit, rear extension and attic conversion of a Victorian house on the vibrant and upcoming Myddleton Road, now a family home. The shopfront was rebuilt and signage restored and the shop is now used as a community resource for yoga classes, toddler groups and even as a polling station.
  • The design was modelled using Passivhaus DesignPH software, to achieve Enerphit performance.  
  • The new rear extension built in lightweight timber frame construction with an outer skin of rendered wood fibre insulation.
  • Open cell Icynene insulation used througout between studs and rafters
  • All windows have been replaced with high performance triple glazed units, including the traditional sashes to the street elevation.
  • The house is continuously and quietly supplied with fresh, filtered air using an MVHR system providing high levels of comfort and efficiency
  • Natural ventilation also deeply integrated into the design with manually opening windows and rooflights providing excellent through ventilation when required. 
  • A green roof to to the extension (yet to be planted) will slow run-off of rain, provide an attractive view and biodiversity.
