12 friends, all young professionals, have come together as a collective to seek better ways of living. Architect Cerianne and 3D modeller Mike, a partnership in life and business, have brought the like-minded group together to explore the opportunity of a joint investment into a Passivhaus development of 7 ultra-low energy homes. The 7 households will buy in to the scheme which will focus around environmentally low impact, healthy living in a rural location sharing communal facilities which could not be realised alone due to monetary constraints and maintenance. Together the group strive for an improved lifestyle, which can be replicated by similar groups in the future. Suitable for off grid locations, the development will showcase state of the art energy storage technologies. The scheme will be afforded collectively via a creative approach to self-build finance through private investment and/or mortgage company. Scheme completion is anticipated late 2018.
