Photovoltaic panels, positioned on the south facing roof, are guaranteed to generate more electricity than this low energy consuming house requires. This surplus energy credit will be used to power an electric car at the electrical ‘fuelling’ station in front of the house. Upholding the enduring Huf Haus commitment to eco-conscious development, the show house is powered by its surroundings, drawing on sunlight, air and soil, dispensing with the need for fossil fuels.


Arguably the pièce de résistance is the heating system – the most efficient and technically advanced heating and cooling system of its kind. Using ice to heat the house, the system, which revolves around an underground ice storage tank, will initiate a new phase of heating residential properties in the UK. By harvesting the energy generated when ice turns to water, the house can be heated and cooled on demand and will never receive an energy bill.


Built with the latest technologies to achieve the most efficient home possible, the house demonstrates how sustainable living can be achieved through the synthesis of fine contemporary architecture and cutting edge technology. H G Wells would approve - as this house proves that a luxury home doesn’t have to sacrifice environmental consciousness.


Characterised by the expanse of glass synonymous with a Huf Haus, the show home utilises unparalleled insulation, airtightness and fabric efficiency to ensure the floor to ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, fostering improved health and psychological well-being, without compromising energy efficiency.


Its position adjacent to a river also highlights the adaptability of Huf Haus design on land with a high water table. In this instance, the show house has forgone the traditional basement common in many Huf houses, incorporating stilts to mitigate flood risk and protect the structural integrity.


Extending to 428 sq m, the six bay show house offers generous, open plan living accommodation, including a spacious kitchen fully fitted with fixtures by StilART – part of the Huf group of companies, an expansive sitting room, and a grand dining area located beneath the mezzanine level with roof top windows. To fulfil its commercial function, the show house incorporates an office and a sales area.


At its opening back in 2015 Georg Huf, CEO of Huf Haus, commented:


“Our new UK show house demonstrates the architectural and technological advances achieved by the Huf Haus engineers. Functions such as the heating with ice system that were beyond our comprehension when we built our original Huf house in the UK more than 15 years ago, now come as standard as we strive to pioneer zero carbon efficiency.”


Moving on in time the Huf quest for carbon neutral living has been further recognised by Germany’s Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) nominating the Odyssey Huf Haus in Berkshire for their highest possible accolade – their Platinum Award.


Ian and Kay Vickerage’s Odyssey is the first home in the UK to go beyond the Gold standard – the norm for all Huf houses - to become the first single-family home in the UK to earn such a prestigious accolade endorsing the company’s commitment to designing and building eco-conscious homes that offer residents the opportunity to live carbon neutral lifestyles.


Vorsprung durch Technik indeed!
