   This looks to be a very interesting house – well done! We should be doing a lot more like this, especially upgrading older houses to “zero carbon”. Nice to see pics of the workers for a change!

   Small is beautiful! There’s hope for the human race yet and it’s great news for Birmingham. Your new home shows you can achieve great things deep in the city which I’ve always preferred to suburbs. We live in Handsworth. May many more be able to follow this example (Housing Associations and developers take note) and may you have many happy visitors and good neighbours. Where are the nearest allotments by the way and where do you store your bicycles? (:))
