What makes this scheme different?

The scheme includes the innovative self-finish model, managed by Ecomotive, enabling residents to complete their homes while learning new skills. Every hour of work carried out by residents translates into ‘sweat equity’. This will reduce the rent they need to pay or translate into increased equity and helps to make the homes more affordable. Residents will work on their own and each other’s houses, creating a collaborative environment and community relationships.

How will this scheme benefit the community?

Energy and carbon emissions will be reduced through a ‘fabric first’ design, the carefully considered on-site renewable energy strategy and a site design that promotes cycling and walking over the use of cars. The source of materials, lifecycle costs and embodied energy have all been considered. Buildings are designed to be flexible and adaptable to ensure they meet the future needs of residents. This scheme adopts Passivhaus principles to provide low cost, energy efficient and comfortable homes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
