London's Paper House Project has completed the Greenview House, a charming two-bedroom dwelling designed for James Davies and his partner Sophie, along with their whippet, Dylan. Situated on a 33-square-meter site in Stoke Newington, formerly a garage, the house boasts an impressive energy performance certificate rating of 97A and remarkably low carbon emissions of just 0.1 tons of CO2 per year. With primary energy use limited to 5 kWh per square meter, the residence incorporates features like solar panels, triple-glazed windows, and an air-source heat pump. Constructed swiftly using cross-laminated timber, the project was finalized in 2026 on Milton Grove.
