With an accent on low-carbon construction, Orford Mews in Walthamstow is part of a healthier post-Covid future.
The timber-clad homes — eight family houses and a three-bedroom flat — will be set around a community garden with edible plants, for foraging.
“Living” walls and moss roofs will improve air quality, while the south-facing scheme will be powered entirely by renewable energy, meaning tiny or zero utility bills.
There’s a wellbeing centre, a “reuse” facility for donating or swapping goods, and contemporary architecture chimes well with the scheme’s eco-credentials. Prices from £600,000.
The official launch is in September with completion due next year. Register at orfordmews.co.uk.
