KACEY TO BUILD BAUFRITZ HOME

Known for her roles as Little Mo in EastEnders and Inspector Jenny Black in HolbyBlue, Kacey wanted to build an eco-friendly home with her partner Darren but was determined not to live in a box, preferring instead to have a much more distinctive looking building with architectural flair.  

Kacey says of her project: "We needed to move due to an expanding family, and a plot of land came up for sale in the area we wanted to live, it was too good to miss so we bought the land and started our journey. Firstly we had to decide what we wanted to build and ended up with this brief: an eco friendly, family house, designed by ourselves, project managed by people with a great deal more experience than us! 

We looked at a lot of different companies and then we came across Baufritz, they seemed to encapsulate everything we required.  Their energy efficient bespoke houses could deliver everything we wanted and to a timescale we required.  They also had a lot of knowledge regarding the latest green technologies that were an essential element in our build."

The unique 4-bedroom property with two curved external radial walls will be the most energy efficient house we have built so far in the UK, consuming the equivalent of only 3 litres of heating oil per square metre per annum compared to 25 litres per square metre in a typical UK house.  This will be achieved as a result of the highly energy efficient Baufritz walls which have a U-value of only 0.16 W/m²K combined with an efficient wood pellet heating system.  The building will be complete in July this year.  Click here to see the progress so far.
