. jAlbum 10 New Timber framed house built by the architect for his family in 1974. The house design featured a south -facing 2 storey passive solar greenhouse (conservatory). Winter sun peneprated deep into the rooms behind, and warm air circulated by convection into the upper floor bedrooms. The heating was by off-peak electric underfloor cables on the ground floor and block storage heaters in the bedrooms. The roof and walls were very well insulated. slides/Imgp8814neg.htm# Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:01:34 +0100 Final design - Perspective 1973 Final design - Perspective 1973 slides/Imgp8814neg.jpg slides/Delta 1975 ext.htm# Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:01:34 +0100 Finished 1974 Finished 1974 slides/Delta 1975 ext.jpg slides/Delta 1975 ext (4).htm# Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:01:34 +0100 View from south 1975 - construction - Douglas fir frame, well insulated roof with slates - glazed solar conservatory.
