I live in a four-bedroom eco flat, designed and built by our practice GROUPWORK. It uses stone instead of steel, timber instead of aluminium and plasterboard partitions. It drives down the embodied CO2 by 92 per cent less than a steel structure and internally to negative CO2.
I feel so fortunate to live in the area around St James Church; far enough away from Clerkenwell and Farringdon’s main roads not to feel them but close enough for their buses and trains. There is a quiet park for kids and dogs. We have Exmouth Market, Sadler’s wells and busy Angel to the north and Smithfield Market, St.Paul’s and Tate Modern to the south.
