Sustainable, Highly-Efficient British Home in Brick and Metal Dazzles

Much of this classic Victorian house is draped with brick on the outside and the distinct archway in brick still holds its own despite the modern makeover. On the inside, neutral finishes hide the insulated, wooden frame carefully while natural light reduces dependency on artificial lighting. A host of green features and passive heating and cooling design makes the residence even more energy-efficient.Bright orange metallic facade of Gate House in UKWith low ceiling, it is the abundance of orange and white inside the house that ensures that limited light is dispersed evenly and there are no dull corners.

In the small living room, orange colors the floor and décor pieces while the ceiling and upper half of the walls embrace white. It is truly a brilliant use of bold color in a revamped residence.
