The home of Hallam’s Professor of Architecture, Julian Marsh is in the running to be named the UK’s best eco property.
Marsh House in Nottingham has been announced as one of The Guardian’s top 10 eco homes in the country and a public vote will now determine which property takes the overall award.
Constructed from environmentally-friendly insulation, clay plaster and certifiably sustainable timber, the property has already been recognised by the Civic Trust and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and is built around a courtyard that is filled with home-grown fruit and veg. Translucent walls and white floors reduce the need for lighting whilst rainwater is gathered in an underfloor cistern and redeployed for washing.
Voting for the best eco home takes place between 21-24 April 2014. Click here to vote and for more information.
