County Field Townhouses
The design County Eco-residences was inspired by research and development work into offsite manufactured, low-cost sustainable social housing undertaken by Dr Avi Friedman, Professor of Architecture and Director of the Affordable Housing Programme at McGill University, Montreal, Canada.

The residences were built in 2008 and have been configured as 4-storey townhouses providing semi-independent, un-serviced accommodation for 12 students with a large shared kitchen/dining/lounge space on the ground floor level, or as serviced cluster flats on one floor, comprising en-suite accommodation for 6 students and a shared kitchen/dining/lounge area.
