Local eco home wins highly acclaimed property award

A signature eco development in Radlett has won a leading interior design and build firm an International Property Award for 2014/15. Brickfields, Living In Space’s premier new build project, has been commended in the Development Sector category, as one of the first properties to truly merge eco living and high-end design, leading the way for sustainable development. The company, which has historically worked with celebrity clients in London’s most exclusive areas, will be awarded the prestigious accolade at an official ceremony at Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on Friday 24^th October. Living In Space incorporated the latest sustainable technologies seamlessly into the property design and the exterior is sympathetic to the home’s rural surroundings too; the striking combination of tessellated brickwork and glass pay tribute to the site’s history as a former brick maker’s as well as helping the home achieve its low carbon status. All bricks were handmade and locally sourced while the glass walls were designed to reduce dependency on heating and allow for beautiful light and open interior spaces, maintaining a close connection between the outside and inside. Anita Kohn, Director of Living In Space, commented: “We are thrilled to have had our first development chosen for this prestigious award. “It was always our intention to use Brickfields to communicate that there doesn’t have to be a compromise between luxury and eco living. Careful planning and utilisation of innovative technologies has led to the creation of a beautiful family home that doesn’t impact the environment. We hope that with this award, Brickfields can continue to be a prime example of much-needed sustainable development.”
