Engineered at the Scandia-Hus (01342 838060; scandia-hus.co.uk) factory in West Sussex; the shell of this 260 sqm, timber framed home was then erected on site within just two weeks. The chalet-style three bedroom house features impressive eco credentials, with triple glazing, a heat recovery system and a ground source heat pump. A similar project would cost £500,000, excluding the heat pump, landscaping and external works.

The feature can be found on page.146 of Grand Designs Magazine January 2016 edition.
