16 Garlic Row is a 3-bedroom semi-detached eco-house recently renovated by Architect and Passivhaus Consultant, Oliver Cooper. Key features (as provided by Oliver Cooper) include:-

• Completely reconfigured to make careful use of the space: the new layout brings lots of natural light into the heart of the new functional open plan living space.

• Retrofitted using Passivhaus principles with Solar PV panels on the roof: energy consumption has been cut by over 80% and bills cut by over 50%. The home is comfortable year-round and is completely fossil-fuel free as it runs off a small air source heat pump, making it ideal for people aiming to live with net zero carbon impact.

• A healthy home: the house features natural materials throughout and has a whole-house ventilation system achieving excellent indoor air quality throughout by continuously supplying fresh filtered air to each room. This system also saves energy by recovering heat from the air in winter and keeps the house cool on peak summer days by rejecting heat from incoming air.
