Riverside Eco Home

This project required the design and construction of a flood-resistant, eco-friendly home on a prime riverside plot along the Thames. Having passed through multiple hands, the project needed a contractor to take ownership of the design, resolve outstanding challenges, and develop a cohesive, buildable plan while navigating budget constraints, strict planning conditions, and environmental regulations. Precision, coordination, and a forward-thinking approach were essential.

March Construction took the lead during the pre-construction phase, collaborating closely with the clients to refine the design and meet planning and environmental requirements. Key solutions included

• Eco-Conscious Engineering – Elevated on stilts for flood resilience, use of Porotherm blocks, external wall insulation and a warm-deck pitched roof, achieving Passivhaus-level thermal performance.
• Advanced Energy Systems – Integrated air source heat pumps, MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) and solar panel provisions ensuring long-term energy efficiency.

Precision-Led Design Process – Leveraged 3D modeling for spatial optimisation, system integration and client visualisation ensuring a flawless design-to-build transition.

The completed home is a striking example of sustainable architecture, seamlessly balancing high-end aesthetics with environmental performance. Built to Passivhaus/Net Zero standards, the home’s advanced systems and materials ensure exceptional efficiency and long-term comfort. This project highlights March Construction’s expertise in delivering high-performance eco-builds while navigating complex requirements with precision and innovation.
