Ushida Findlay Architects and Holmes Deliver Big with Flowing Green Park Homes

Green architecture seems to be the flavor of the day here with many green buildings taking shape and starting to go from the blueprint on the paper to the structures on ground. While we looked at the EDITT Towers in Singapore, we now move on to Grafton New Hall site in Chester, UK where Ushida Findlay Architects are all set to bring out a green wave in Park Homes. The new eco homes designed by the firm have a real flowing design with the rooftop of the five joined homes looking like an extended green wave trying to reach out to the blues!

Park Houses’ design features an undulating green roof linking five individual homes and is loaded with green features such as solar power, ample natural light and sustainable design that make it stand out from the crowd. The roof will house strips of plants and shrubs that will form a cover of grass on top so that the structure merges with its surroundings with ease. The green rooftop also provides wonderful natural insulation and green energy will help power it on.


The new design makes for a very cozy looking 3-story building that imbibes not just the green features, but also a very serene eco-friendly look.
