Belmont Park is a lively community hub in the Newtown area of Exeter. Living Space Architects were commissioned to design a new sustainable community centre building to replace an existing WW2 hut.
Living Space ran a series of community workshops to help produce a brief and design for the project and ensure local people were fully involved with how the scheme should be developed.
Photovoltaic roof tiles will provide electricity for the centre which will be well insulated and sealed to create a passive building. Low temperature radiators combined with an air source heat pump will provide heating for the building down to external temperatures of 3 degrees, creating further energy savings.
