The inverted layout with the bedrooms on the ground floor and living areas above was specifically designed to maximise warmth in the living areas during winter, and avoid overheated bedrooms in summer. This layout combined with the true south facing orientation and huge triple glazed windows also allows for spectacular and unrestricted views of open countryside for miles towards Bredon Hill and the Malverns in the distance. This house not only meets, but exceeds the exacting German Passivhaus standards (although has not been officially certified as such), is completely ‘water neutral’ through its rainwater harvesting system, and makes intelligent use of renewable solar energy, making it carbon negative.

Running costs are therefore significantly lower than a house of standard construction where utility costs would typically be around £2,000 - £3,000 per year. In this house the exceptional levels of thermal efficiency, solar generated power, and water and waste recycling systems mean the occupants can expect not only zero costs for heating, electricity, water, and drainage but also an overall surplus return of approximately £500 per year from energy returned back to the grid via feed in tariffs (based on last 5 years figures).
