An environmentally responsible, canal side mixed use development providing live-work lofts, apartments, low-energy homes and offices, created from the shell of Coventry's original Victorian power station.
Electric Wharf is designed as a live/work community with 37 live/work lofts, 40 apartments, 21 new-build, low-energy homes fronting the Coventry Canal and 27,000sqft of office space.
Demolition material has been reused on site, minimising landfill, the internal structures are made from sustainable timber. Recycled materials have been incorporated throughout.
New buildings incorporate higher standards of insulation to reduce energy use and working from home reduces car trips. New pedestrian and cycle routes are opened up linking to the city centre, encouraging walking and cycling. |
