Update: Market House
0 likes267 views
Market House, designed by Linda Beamish, is a sustainable construction project for the College of West Anglia that aims to be a model of eco-design, providing resources for education in sustainability. The project involves community engagement, potential employment opportunities, and showcases various sustainable design components such as recyclable materials and energy-efficient systems. It has garnered support from local organizations and aims to educate the community on innovative building solutions amidst environmental challenges.
