The house itself has been designed to be airtight and well insulated to cut energy costs and produce net zero carbon emissions. It has also been designed with its eventual sustainable deconstruction in mind.
An ‘off-site modular construction method’ will be used to build the house, which will see parts being built offsite and then being assembled on the plot. This method is intended to provide ‘greater control over cost, waste produced and supply chain accreditation’, and to reduce potential delays caused by problems such as bad weather.
