Energy Positive Building

Thanks to a combination of 106 solar panels and a ground source heat pump, the two main technologies, the building will produce more energy (36,678.57 kWh/year) than it consumes (36, 341.20 kWh/year).

Eden House will have many eco-sustainable sources of renewable energy, like a ground heat pump and a home biogas unit to properly dismantle waste from the kitchen.

A design in synergy with nature

Our biophilic design ensures that nature is at the heart of this sustainable luxury residence. The building is surrounded by its own courtyard, which helps to incorporate vegetation inside and gives biophilic views. You’ll find nature elements throughout the house, connecting the inside and outside, such as the green wall below the ground floor that establishes a visual connection to nature right as you park your car.

Welcoming Biodiversity

We’re committed to enhancing the natural context of the Green Belt area where our building is located. We’ll be maintaining wildlife corridors and creating microecosystems for birds, butterflies, and bees. To achieve this, we’ve divided the plot into different realms dedicated to certain species, and included solutions like bee bricks and bird houses. We’re also aiming to engage with local and national charities and trusts to preserve the local wildlife.

Natural Ventilation & Enveloping Design

Being erected around a courtyard, the building is designed for natural ventilation, which avoids overheating and allows for a comfortable living space during the summer.

We’re using natural materials and renewable energy to minimize our environmental impact. Our enveloping design welcomes the natural landscape and preserves the existing mature trees on the site that provide sun protection and privacy.
