2021 Project Awards – Burh Becc House

Burh Becc House – Recognition of Excellence – Sustainability

The Living Building Challenge asks that we reconsider our relationship to the natural environment. It invites us to consider buildings as if they functioned like a flower: using only material resources from its immediate environment. This home has achieved that goal, and is one of only two residences on the planet to be recognized with Full Living Building Challenge certification.
