Low carbon architecture for a Passivhaus
design in Gorefield, Wisbech
A contemporary interpretation of the
popular barn-style, this two-storey
dwelling was created for the client who
was passionate about low-carbon living.
Designed by James Burton of Swann
Edwards Ltd, a two-storey five-bed
dwelling was created with:
• a car port and associated poly
tunnel,
• a wood store/potting shed,
• a green house
• a chicken coup
• a pond/reed bed
For many, it may seem like a tall
order to create a contemporary
home that would give the property
owner autonomy over food, energy
and sewage – whilst also increasing
biodiversity, enhancing the street
scene and significantly reducing water
consumption. Creating a low-carbon
environment was the ultimate goal for
Far View Barn.
