Eco Homes: Sustainable And Affordable By Architects Riches Hawley Mikhail
PRESS RELEASE


February 2009

From the side, they're shaped like cheese wedges. From the front, they appear the most minimal of structures.

The Clay Fields eco-homes development, in Elmswell, Suffolk, is branded by its designers as "eco-minimalist" because it lacks the gaudy appendages so ubiquitous in green housing schemes, such as conspicuous solar panelling and wind turbines.

Launched last year, the £4.67m scheme was designed by architects Riches Hawley Mikhail for Orwell Housing Association in partnership with Elmswell parish council, Mid-Suffolk district council and the Suffolk Preservation Society, with funding including £630,000 of social housing grant.

The practice was commissioned in 2006 following a RIBA design competition led by Orwell and its partners.
