The Design
We're going further still at avante. A selection of the homes at avante are designed using the hugely successful English Partnerships, Design for Manufacture competition objectives. The demands of this initiative ensure that these unique homes are engineered to strict environmental standards, providing flexible and stylish living spaces.
- Aesthetically exciting modern in internal design and architectural façade
- Central roof light promoting increased solar heating and ventilation for the home
- Highly insulated to prevent heat loss and reduce running costs
- High build quality which minimises CO2 emissions
- Plumbing and heating arranged on a 'service wall', creating more flexible living space
- Carefully controlled window positions to promote solar heat gain
- External shading to shield areas that cannot be protected by the orientation of the home
- Air tightness and whole-house ventilation systems will reduce running costs to a minimum
- Heat exchanger to extract heat from waste air to heat incoming air promoting comfortable living temperatures
- Community heating system reduces energy bills
