The setting and landscape are an important part of this energy efficient new home in Hampshire. Natural
materials have been highlighted all around the building to reinforce its green credentials. The natural
sedum green roof provides excellent thermal insulation. The green planting will also retain and thus
reduce airborne dust and improve air quality. Plants absorb CO2 and pollutants through their leaves and
remove them from the environment. The garden will also provide a habitat for plants & wildlife. Green
roofs help to restore and maintain natural habitat. The garden will therefore inject a green area into an
otherwise densely populated, hard landscaped urban area.
