Focus On: Building an Eco Home

Can you tell us about your project?

It had been an ambition of mine to create my own place. I spent a lot of time planning with the architect how the spaces would work, the best arrangement, which materials to use etc. I’m on a hill with a great view from the upper level, so that’s where I have the main living area and balcony. Downstairs I’ve got two bedrooms and an office space.

It was a simple scheme, with high ceilings and a curved zinc roof. I built it in concrete, which reradiates the heat throughout the house to make the most of passive gain.
