Simply sustainable home designs

Carbon negative homes for Witchcliffe Ecovillage and beyond

Econests are carbon negative, highly energy efficient homes designed by multiple award-winning practice Arcologic and built by leading local master builder Tallwood . We bridge the gap between one-off custom design and the volume home market to reduce the uncertainty, time, cost and stress often associated with building a bespoke new home.

We Dream it.

It all begins with the idea. We have spent several years working towards this unique collection of sustainable homes to offer as an alternative pathway without the uncertainty, stress and costs of custom design.
