Achievable Urban Sustainability
NRGStyle’s main goal has always been to create an inspiring example of ACHIEVABLE URBAN SUSTAINABILITY.
To create a new way of living design:
This is a philosophy/ethos that NRGStyle has developed as their core value & vision.
We want to combine design and construction techniques with renewable technologies to deliver cost-effective, sustainable lifetime homes in urban areas that are within the ordinary, everyday working person’s financial reach.
Achievable It is affordable and possible
Urban Relevant to and in harmony with an urban environment
Sustainability In 1987, the United Nations released the Brundtland Report, which defines sustainable development as development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
You may be wondering what we mean by this phrase.
This phrase came about very early in the project when we wanted to describe the project’s main aspirations. We believe that sustainable living is possible and achievable in the urban environment - simple. So, we began designing an affordable new home that not only combats fuel poverty, but also has built-in provisions for the future to take care of your elderly or infirm family. Here’s a video, courtesy of the late Norman Smith Senior, who was the inspiration for the multi-generational aspect of the project.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown has made the multi-generational aspect of the design increasingly important, so that families can look after shielding relatives within the family home rather than face periods of isolation and loneliness experienced when living alone.
