Project Description
Green Street is an award-winning low-energy housing development located near the Victoria Embankment in Nottingham. Comprising thirty-five 2, 3, and 4-bedroom townhouses, the scheme was designed with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental performance.
Natural materials such as timber, hemp, and lime render have been used throughout the construction, while the homes also make effective use of natural light, thermal mass, photovoltaic panels, and biomass-fired boilers to reduce energy consumption. A community recycling and information point is included as part of the development, encouraging residents to engage in environmentally responsible practices.
Due to the proximity of the River Trent, the entire site has been raised above the surrounding area to reduce the risk of flooding. Green Street stands as a model for sustainable urban living and thoughtful environmental design.
