A Passive Solar Self Build

A Passive Solar Self Build

John and Joan Barnes have built a contemporary, energy efficient house for retirement in their own back garden. The house was build mainly on a DIY basis, with John doing most of the carpentry whilst Joan undertook the landscaping. The most impressive feature of the house is a large glazed solar collector, which stretches over all three storeys, making the house very ecologically sound.
