Kit House, Hertfordshire, England

An award winning house in Harlow designed by RDA. It was one of 6 siteds designated in Harlow as an experimental project for South Builders. RDA won the commision after a failed attempt by a previous Architect. The project takes its queue from modernist design, though this was fabricated offsite and assembled quicklyThe house itself is made out of 6 structural insulated panels and is very energy efficient. The modernist design follows through to the interiors. The use of terraces and open space adds to a comfortable aesthetic which overlooks the fields and beautiful landscape. This project won 'Best Eco Home and Reader's Choice' in The Daily Telegraph Self Build Homebuilding & Renovating Awards. Photo by Tim Soar
