Hillside Gardens

Built

Hillside Gardens, in the London Borough of Lambeth, marks the start of a new and fresh approach to social housing. Four modern, spacious, energy efficient homes embedded at the heart of the community.

Hillside Gardens in Lambeth marks the start of a fresh, innovative approach to sustainable social housing. Delivered by EDAROTH (a subsidiary of Atkins) in collaboration with the London Borough of Lambeth, these four modern, spacious family homes are embedded at the heart of the community, close to transport links and local services. Precision off-site-manufacturing techniques unlocked the potential of under-utilised land, previously deemed unsuitable for development, and created a sustainable, highly energy efficient end-to-end solution for a once neglected site.

Zero Carbon London

Zero Carbon London

→ EPC A Rating
→ 75% reduction of carbon emissions on site
→ Modular, off-site manufacturing techniques

Precision off-site-manufacturing techniques unlocked the potential of under-utilised land to create four modern, spacious family homes. The design focused on the reduction of in-service carbon emissions through improvements to the thermal envelope and air tightness, embracing Passivhaus principles. Using the learning from this first scheme, all future EDAROTH homes have been designed to achieve net zero carbon targets through a combination of a highly efficient thermal envelope, superior air tightness and the latest building services technologies. Supplementing an efficient building envelope with roof-mounted photovoltaics, each home has the potential to save more than two tonnes of carbon per year compared to a traditionally-built home.
