A great looking new carbon neutral house announced in the Guardian - the lighthouse. Gordon Brown (the next PM?) a while back announced this perk to avoid paying stamp tax to the government (when you buy a house, 1,2.5 or 3%) - I think for the next 2-3years anyway.
There seems to be an event - BRE Offsite 2007 - which looks pretty cool; would love to be back in the UK to go along to that one. Some interesting photos from their blog.
Also interesting compertition link for future housing by bdonline architects website.
How long before anyone in Toronto/Canada gets onto these prefabricated off-site sustainable houses.. I wonder if anyone is lobbying the government or provinces...?
