Award winning and designed as a model for green urban terraced housing, the Prototype is built around its myriad sustainable features, ranging from a solar-controlled façade to a solar thermal hot water system. The exterior aesthetic of the house is also pretty special, with its glass and steel façade coated in a cascade of greenery.
%AThe Prototype House is open to visitors on Sunday 20th September from 10am until 5pm with tours available on a first-come-first-served basis.
