Adrian James Architects‘ Muswell House features their distinctive curved roof – designed to maximize the internal space, and a wall of glass in the open-plan living room to take advantage of the expansive southern views.

The house is innovative, both structurally and environmentally:  prefabricated engineered timber fills out the primary steel frame; the house is heated by a ground source heat pump; and a heat recovery ventilation system uses the stale exhaust air to heat the incoming fresh air — which all adds up to a very small carbon footprint.
