GreenSmart Sustainable Home

HIA South West Housing Awards

Winner: Tallwood Custom Built Homes

The Eco Barnhouse, nestled within Witchcliffe, stands as a beacon of sustainability within one of the world's most eco-conscious residential developments. This innovative dwelling is a remarkable 140% carbon offset and achieves complete self-sufficiency in renewable energy and water resources. At its core, the home features a 10kw photovoltaic system connected to a central storage battery and the village microgrid, allowing excess energy to power electric vehicles or contribute back to the grid. With a 100,000-litre rainwater tank, greywater recycling system, and waterwise fixtures, the house and garden thrive sustainably while promoting organic farming and native habitat preservation. The design prioritises flexible living, providing options for extended family living or separate tenancy. Sustainable features include rammed earth walls for thermal regulation and locally sourced materials to reduce embodied energy. The Eco Barnhouse exemplifies holistic sustainability through design, energy efficiency, and mindful construction practices.
