Anglers was a self build project for a new dwelling in East Devon, replacing a tired old bungalow. The house was built by a couple who work from home designed to take advantage of the views and orientation and be green in it's construction as well as ongoing lifecycle.

Alison and Mark’s house is a timber framed self-build, eco-house, insulated with recycled wood fibre and with an extremely airtight envelope to maximise energy efficiency. This method of insulating allows the fabric of the building to breathe in a way that alternative 'sealed' envelope solutions do not and results in an internal living environment that is healthier as water vapour is naturally regulated. This is a super green fabric first building method.

A demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) system was installed which allows the house to be breathable and maintain a pleasant living environment. It’s an easier to install and more energy efficient system than the alternative MVHR (mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system). The house is also triple glazed to ensure the highest thermal standards. As well as being super thermally efficient, renewable technologies are used such as a heat pump and solar PVs so this is a genuinely low impact building.
