This is one of four blocks of sustainable social housing built for the Gallions Housing Association. The houses have, amongst other features, timber frames, advanced insulation and double glazing, condensing boilers, solar water heating through panels in the roofs, and waste separation units to encourage recycling, as well as sunspaces in their south-facing elevations. The houses in Block A here are two bedroom units. The Ecopark website is here http://www.gallionsecopark.co.uk/home.htm (This image was taken at sunset and the colour has not been enhanced).
