This thread has a few snaps of the house we built and the modest little TV room / home cinema that I am very slowly developing. I'll be using this thread as a mini blog for thinking about what to do with my AV - AKA a place where I can moan about various decisions and problems without cluttering up other people's threads any worse than I do already!
This first post shows roughly what it looks like now / in recent years.
Essentially it's a bright purple, upside down eco-house with a grass roof that's largely built into a hill. We moved in to the house in 2009 after a one year build. It's won a couple of RIBA awards.
This shot is roughly what the front looks like now:
... which is quite an advance from when we first moved in:
Looking across the front elevation you can see the hops - they've come on quite a bit since then (and the flags have been weeded!)
... and the view through the trees to the grounds of the flats next door:
From a neighbour's garden you can see the green roof and the air-source heat pump (no solar panels... yet...):
And finally a cheesy panorama of the back:
And to wrap things up - a quick shot of the TV room...
