I am sorry for the long absent, but i've been on vacations and with some laziness in getting back to blogging mode.
Nonetheless i am here to show you something i found on Architecture Lab, an online architecture magazine, regarding sustainable constructions.
It's the first negative carbon street in the world and it was built in the UK!

"Britain's first ever 'carbon negative' street is unveiled today.
Residents in the 21 timber houses which make up Sinclair Meadows in South Shields can sleep costly in the knowledge that they will live in the most eco-friendly social housing development in the UK.
The grand design has been created by non-for-profit housing provider Four Housing Group and 52 residents, ranging in age from two-weeks-old to pensioners in their 70s, are due to move in this week.
The carbon negative homes generate more energy than they need and are made of natural materials like timber, hemp insulation and lime render.
Sinclair Meadows was purpose designed and built to surpass the Government's definition of zero carbon and to exceed the minimum requirement for Level 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
The homes have energy monitoring systems installed which allow the occupiers to see the energy that they are using at any on time, and to make informed decisions about reducing their energy use and saving money."
The goal of this development is to erase in three years the footprint created by the construction and most of the renewal materials chosen will be able reusable and recycled on the end of the development life time.
I hope you like it, and why not follow the same path?
Over and Out!
