The ruralZED Project
The ruralZED project built for an exhibition in Camborne by Optimal Construction. The basic design won a competition to provide affordable sustainable housing in Cornwall. The Sustainable Trust provided support by publicising this project, researching and providing items for the interior. One of our trustees supervised the build while training students.
