10. Permahaus

In March 2014 I was invited by a local architects' practice to join a team to submit an entry in the Sunday Times British Homes Award. The brief called for a passivhaus, and the architects wanted to integrate permaculture ideas into their response.

Eric Parks was the principle architect, with Jonathan Lindh and Jim Wild from Leeds Environmental Design Associates providing design & graphics advice & support and Mechanical & Electrical engineering design respectively. I provided the permaculture & landscape design and the 3d artwork.
