Designed by Richard Hawkes, founder of Hawkes architecture, Crossway is one of the first officially certified Passive houses in the UK. The building explores the uniqueness of 'place' as well as harnessing solar energy to generate all its own electricity and thermal energy.
The building demonstrates how contemporary design can celebrate local materials and crafts and integrate new technologies to produce a highly sustainable building that sits lightly on the Earth

7th May 2010. View from the dining room. It feels so much more civilised out there now. Oddly enough now that it looks better than it ever has done i’m spening far more time tending to it whereas when it looked like a building site i couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to do anything. Bizarre really !
