What's it like to win the Home of the Future?
Tuesday, 09 February 2010 08:55
Last week Will Homoky and Catherine Beswick opened the door of their Victorian end of terrace home to the Grand Designs Great British Refurb Campaign team. The Bristol couple are the lucky winners of the Great British Refurb and 10/10 competition to win the Home of the Future: a substantial home makeover worth £23,000 that will transform the energy efficiency of their house.
Over the next couple of weeks Will and Catherine's house will be upgraded with a range of energy saving technologies and some new solar panels thanks to campaign partner Keepmoat and materials supplied by Knauf Insulation and Solar Century.
In this video interview Will tells us how it feels to win the Home of the Future as the work on his house progresses this week.
You can also keep up to date with the project through the GBR blog (read Will's first blog here).
