Our Vision
Why a Green Show Home?
Homes designed not just for today, but for the future. Enhancing wellbeing, economical to live in, and kind to the planet.
Sustainable by Design
Our new High Trees show home shows you how sustainable living can feel – warm, natural and effortlessly stylish. Designed to complement the energy-efficient foundations of every Strand Home, the interiors showcase how thoughtful choices can make a real difference.
Natural materials such as cork, jute and mango wood bring texture and warmth, while low-toxicity finishes help create a healthier indoor environment. Recycled furniture and responsibly sourced pieces demonstrate how style and sustainability can go hand in hand, alongside innovative lighting crafted from repurposed materials. Every detail has been carefully considered to inspire from locally made elements to reclaimed and vintage pieces that add character while reducing environmental impact.
Our High Trees show home is a guide to what’s possible – a place to discover ideas, connect with suppliers, and see how you can bring sustainable living into your own High Trees home.
