30 May 2017

Imagine living in a property that is not only beautiful and stylish, but ultra-energy efficient and conveniently located in the heart of London too.

It may sound like an impossible dream but that is the reality with the innovative Futurehome collection that has been built at Elephant and Castle.

This exceptional project, which promises sustainable living without compromise, is part of the Elephant Park development built by Lendlease, a specialist in urban regeneration.

It consists of 15 stunning Victorian-style townhouses that have been built to the ultra-low energy levels of Passivhaus, one of the world’s most sustainable building standards. This means each home uses up to 90 per cent less energy than original townhouses from that era but retains sought-after features such as high ceilings and bay windows. Their sustainable living credentials are, quite simply, remarkable.

From the airtight build and triple-glazed windows, to the advanced mechanical filtration system providing a constant supply of clean, fresh air, these houses are extremely well-equipped for all seasons. High quality insulation limits noise from the outside world, while the advanced heat recovery qualities ensure an even temperature throughout.The houses are also built with cross-laminated timber – a carbon positive structure that is Forest Stewardship Council-certified and sustainably sourced.

Elephant Park also sits in the wider regeneration of Elephant and Castle, which is forging an exciting new identity as a centre for creative local enterprise. Situated in Zone 1, the development is exceptionally well connected with Tube and Overground train lines, as well as bus and cycle routes. It is also within walking distance of cultural destinations such as the Tate Modern, the South Bank and the London Eye.

The homes' prime location makes them ideal for everyone from City professionals to busy families – anyone, in fact, who wants a property that combines design, location and energy performance.

All properties at Elephant Park have been built to at least Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, using 30 per cent less energy and 30 per cent less water than average. The development is one of the most sustainable new communities in the heart of London, with 3,000 new homes being constructed across 28 acres in Elephant and Castle. Futurehome has been built to the more robust Level 5.

Elephant Park, which is on track to become climate positive by 2025, also features an energy hub, which provides net-zero carbon heat and hot water to all homes.

Futurehome offers sustainable, community townhouse living in Zone 1, bringing together the best in class across design, location and energy performance, with three and four-bedroom townhouses available from £1,495,000.
