Master Builder of the Year 2008




Won by Bob Harris and our sister company; 50˚ North. "Bob Harris of Earthdome Ltd was tasked with turning a down-at-heel, energy guzzling 1960s townhouse into a future-proofed, low carbon, healthy family home.

Developer & Founder of A1 Loft Conversions; Steve Mills and architect Leigh Bowen wanted to demonstrate that it is possible to turn an average family house into a beacon of sustainability and a model for the eco-upgrading of similar housing stock. But the project had to be completed without sacrificing the style, comfort and the modern fixtures and fittings that the target outer London family purchaser would expect."

The result upgraded the property's environmental performance and means that gas has been cut out altogether, while electricity and water consumption has been reduced by 50%.
