21 Jul Amazing Eco Home
When I first saw this house, I really thought it was an artists impression. The crazy design of several petals embedded in a hilly landscape seemed too surreal to be true.
However, this low impact house really does exist. The beautiful flower shaped 8,000 square footĀ Bolton Eco HouseĀ has been built into the landscape of the West Pennine Moors, to preserve the natural beauty of the area.Ā The four-bedroom, single-storey house includesĀ photovoltaicĀ panels, a ground source heat pump, and a large wind turbine, all to utilize renewable energy sources.Ā In fact, the Eco House claims to have been designed to consume less than it generates.
Make ArchitectsĀ designed this ecologically-minded home in close collaboration CABE, the local Bolton Council, and the homeās owner, Manchester United starĀ Gary Neville.
Our design envisions this āhouse of the futureā as the first zero-carbon property in the North West of England.
