Eco-Lifetime Homes, Wiltshire
local
The Eco-Lifetime Homes project provides 21no much needed social housing properties on five infill sites throughout rural Wiltshire.
A range of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses and a specialist bungalow with carer’s bed-sitting room were developed to suit the particular site conditions and end user requirements.
adaptable
As well as providing a very high standard of thermal insulation and passive energy gains, the house designs allow for adaptations throughout the occupants’ lifetime.
These include ‘home office’ working spaces, the provision of through-floor lifts for full wheelchair access, and future loft conversions.
sustainable
The cost-effective use of sustainable building materials and techniques achieved scores of ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’ under the Eco-Homes assessment.
This is a considerable achievement on the more remote rural sites
