'A three bedroom live-work unit which uses simple design to create a sustainable modern approach to living.
The live-work units are positioned at either end of the plot and are connected by a 'garden wall' which provides privacy and protection to the courtyard garden.
A passive solution has been adopted in the approach to the design which promotes natural ventilation and heating through the house by means of large south facing windows and a double height void in the living space.'

I think the detailing here speaks volumes about the tough times in which this Expo was conceived - see that downpipe, it was originally designed to follow the angle of the roof truss, but was clearly replaced with standard fittings. As a result it really clashes, which, for me, detracted from an otherwise really interesting design.
