Pop-up Eco Open House South Street

130 South Street is a new build replacement house, sustainable and designed for the future. Trish and Stephen knew that they wanted to build an ultra-energy efficient forever house and chose Baufritz for quality and attention to detail, before they even had found the plot in Lewes. Baufritz houses are prefab houses which are made in Germany and arrive with everything (apart from the kitchen) already in place.

The house took only two days to erect although the whole process for Trish and Stephen has taken 3 years from finding the plot, gaining planning, selling their house, completing the build and moving in.

The construction of the house is timber framed with massive amounts of wood fibre insulation and triple glazing. The house has a whole house ventilation system with heat recovery, is heated by an air source heat pump via underfloor heating and has 24 solar thermal panels to provide its own electricity. There are two Tesla batteries.

Stephen and Trish will show you round this exemplary house and show you the inner workings – as well as showing the view from the balcony!
