Inside The UK’s ‘Super Eco’ Home in the Heart of London | RIBA House of the Year 2023 Winner

- Опубліковано 4 гру 2023
- Nick Hayhurst and Claire Taggart welcome us into Green House in London, by Hayhurst and Co. Architects. This greenhouse-inspired home is the winner of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) House of the Year 2023, which celebrates excellence and innovation in home design by crowning the "best example of a one-off house designed by an architect in the UK."
Tucked away down an alley in the Clyde Circus Conservation Area of Tottenham, this family home screams sustainability - from the cross-laminated timber frame and use of reclaimed materials, to the recycled rain water used to feed the bamboo which enhances air quality throughout. Neither form or function were compromised whilst prioritising the environmental impact of the design, with both a riad-esque central atrium and modular family area being just a couple of the defining features of this property.
Green House is the epitome of what can be achieved when the client and architect collaborate with a mutual goal in mind. "While the design has changed a little bit, I think the very first idea that we presented in the very first meeting is very much what you see today," explains Nick Hayhurst, Director of Hayhurst and Co.
Speaking with homeowner Tom van Schelven, Project Architect Claire Taggart delineates how design boundaries were established early on: "The thing that was quite exciting for us in your brief was that you wanted something that was a bit innovative and a bit experimental, and Tom and Amandine were willing to take risks… and that’s always a good brief to get as an architect!" Watch the full video as we tour Tom van Schelven and Amandine Neyses-van Schelven’s truly unique ‘super eco’ home in the heart of London.

I love the house (that sunken lounge room!!!) and the landscaping is gorgeous too - it looks very Australian-influenced, and interesting that this type of garden could flourish throughout a London winter.
Inner London, while not usually hot by Australian standards, is generally surprisingly mild.
Just about or everything uses energy ❤
This should be a model for the vast majority of single family homes. They didn't start with "I want my house to *look* like...", it's functional requirements first, then aesthetics. Congratulations to the architects and owners! I hope many are inspired to copy this approach.
I hope not. Anyone with half a brain understands how unsustainable and damaging this architecture is.
I'm very proud of all these elements that were integrated in this home. More than often, they are only evocated and used as a touch of nature instead of being intricated with everyday living. With the current states of the cities worldwide, it's very inspiring to see how they can make a real living space that is harmonious and efficient. We can also think about domotic trends of the future with automated gardening devices, or to improve the functionnality of our kitchens with monitored food storage and cooking aids. This is the real proof technology can help us to live closer to nature.
I hope those plants will shelter a vast diversity of liminary animals and help to bridge the environmental continuity the animals need to be healthy and to thrive in their lives.
Im from Connecticut USA, North London is beautiful looking forward to watching your design 👑🌹
Smart & Superb! Kudos!
Nice house. Feels like I’m watching a video on “The Local Project” UA-cam channel.
Incredible house
As an architect you have surf the perfect wave.
Felt perfectly well and at ease from the first second on - love every detail of it.
A beautifully understated home with a clever use of materials and ideas.
Very clever! I particularly like the bunk beds. Innovative way to create privacy while minimizing square footage! The polycarbonate sliders in front of the bamboo wall are lovely too. I do wonder how they will fare over time, in terms of color and opacity. Hopefully better with them vertical rather than lying flat over a patio. Lovely place, and those children are to be envied, growing up in such a magical, green space in the heart of the city. Hopefully it will inspire them for the future!
Aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly! Very beautiful!
The plants and bamboo look beautiful but i would have liked local plants because they have a function for wildlife.
It's the kind of layout that might be improved in time. Often, we even lack the proper knowledge and sources of indigenous plants to work with. Demand will increase offer.
Beautiful Timber work, can you let me know, which company in Austria made it?
So it snows in London right? How are the plants in winter?
"How did you integrate sustainable design principles?" should be a feature of every single House & Garden video regardless of the aesthetic. Kudos to these home owners and the architects on a job well done.
Should it ? According to whom?
If you think this tear down and rebuild benefitted the Earth in any way, you are ridiculous.
Gorgeous! Wondering what’s considered their “tight budget” to make such beautiful place a reality.
Agree. Would be nice if they'd said what the total spend on the plot and build was but I'm guessing well north of £1m.
Read somewhere the budget for the build alone was £550k.
This so-called "luxury" home was north of £559k without the plot I imagine. Nothing cheap about it. There's a BBC article about it. If this glorified DIY house is the kind of future luxury that only the elite in the future will be able to afford, imagine what's left for the majority of people. Complete disaster.
@@georgeredden6196 Why a complete disaster? It seems a complete triumph to me (the architecturally uneducated) and the spend is very probably reasonable if £550k is inclusive of the architect's and other fees. £1m isn't mad for a bespoke house in that part of London, even if it's beyond the means of most - particularly as I assume they had to rent somewhere whilst building it. I think the end product is brilliant.
@@timarnold558simple. Given that this is RIBA's house of the year, it sends a clear message to architects about the standards to win this award. In terms of sustainability, it fails. Just to preface, the previous house was demolished to build this vanity project, how is that sustainable? A house made in this greenhouse style will overheat during the summer months requiring more energy consumption. Its just a gimmick to impress those who think that that much light is required. Conversely, it seems to lack insulation for harsh winter temperatures. In addition, just because it has a bunch of plants, it doesn't mean it's eco-friendly. Most plants are separated in pots requiring continuous water to survive, if everyone in the neighborhood built like this, the consumption of water would go through the roof. This house also destroys the harmony of architecture in the neighborhood. You have to be a narcissist to have such a complete disregard for the culture and designs around you to build this. Also, what does this house says in terms of craftsmanship? For a luxury house (yes, £559k just for the design fee is a scam) you don't even get door frames. Do you know what coffered ceilings are? Or rosettes? probably not, and that's sad. Because of this absurb inflation of mediocre designs, trade jobs are becoming more and more dumbed down so the developer or architect can get all the money. A cheaper house in the US will come with these and other ornaments for much lower the price. You can argue about location all you want, but when times get tough and the market crashes, you'll end up with a glorified pre-fab house that looks like a cheap retirement home on the inside. This already happened in France with LeCorbusier, everyone was quick to be wowed by these "eco" or whatever trendy ideology was popular at the time, and they ended up building the ghettos of future generations. This is just a retread of that. I'm willing to bet you any money that this style will not be appreciated in the coming years and that you're destroying what's left of the rich heritage given to you by your ancestors. If this is the house for the elite, imagine what's left for most the population? Sad
Wonderful house and garden.
They say tight budget i would love to know exactly how much they spent.
I want to live here -- what a cool house!
Definitely living in the "jungle"! Lots of interior watering to do. Makes me wonder how many birds get in, critters and bugs!
I feel your channel is better than Architectural Digest nowadays. This house is brilliant! One question though, can those tropical plants survive during the winter?
I doubt if they're tropical. More likely they're understory plants from temperate to cold rainforests. The plants from alpine areas of Victoria and Tasmania in Australia can withstand snow and ice cold winds, as well as summers over 40C. I assume there are plants from South America, the Himalayas and northern Europe that can also cope with the cold.
Does anyone know what the budget was? 😊
560k
This is simply magnificent.
I cannot work out why I don't like very much of this at all - seems so dark and oppressive and cold to the touch
Maybe try better.
Tottenham apparently.
I think this one is the winner. I’d choose it.
How much does it cost? 😂😅
Eco friendly: They demolished the existing house, most of that ended up in a skip, and then rebuilt. The amount of carbon just in materials and transport is massive.
What nonsense.
They told that the existing house was unsuitable. It's not like they had a choice. Would you rather have had them rebuild a non-ecological house. Your comment is nonsense.
How nice for them. 🙄
Nice for everyone else, too, because of the low embodied carbon and energy efficiency.
@@DanielZajicStop kidding yourself.
It looks hard and makes me feel clostrophobic.
Why is that?
@@retineshilares2497 Because it does.
Can you be more vague? Sigh. @@lorrygeewhizzbang9521
Don’t get me wrong I like it as a house, but it’s basically a pretty rich young people’s pseudo-eco-vanity project
It might seem vain, but at least it's efficient. And it's not like the use of plants can not be achieved in more modest households or appartments...
...and yet they demolished the previous house...We'll never gonna make it as long as ego is on the way.
It's not like houses are eternal... Your comment makes no sense.
it’s giving “The Curse”
Yeah, I’m sure this will save the so-called heating of the planet. Regards from climate changing Norway -13 Celsius 😅
Please inform yourself.
What an awful design!
