From the Agent: "The house sits at the center of the BedZED scheme, characterized by its gracefully aging larch cladding, warm red brick, and distinctive wind cowls on the roofs. The house itself sits on a quiet street within the scheme. Inside, a lofty living room is crowned by a bank of pitched skylights. The sustainability credentials of this pioneering design are exceptional, expressed in the blend of high-tech industrial and natural materials that run throughout. Formed of 100 homes arranged around pedestrianized streets, BedZED was built in 2002 and can be found in the leafy south London suburb of Hackbridge. A large communal meadow and planting troughs provide wonderful outdoor space for the whole estate."
Conceived as a collaboration between architect Bill Dunster and Arup engineers, BedZED won the RIBA Housing Design Award for sustainability in 2001.
