Our vision for the design of the Climate Innovation District

We don’t want to build ‘eco-houses’ that are great for the environment, but aren’t amazing places to live. It doesn’t matter how green you make it, if no one wants to live there, then it’s not sustainable.

Close to every aspect of our lives has been revolutionised by innovation. Computers are billion…

Why build homes from timber?

Our mission is to accelerate the transition to zero carbon cities. We always knew it was going to be a big challenge, and that to do it we couldn’t use the same old construction techniques which haven’t been improved on for decades.

So we did the smartest thing you can do when faced with an enormous…

Petrol & diesel obsolete by 2040? How about 2020.

You probably heard recently that the government will be banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2040 onwards.
