Penrose Nursery House has been shortlisted for the third time this year! 🏆Build It Awards 2025 - Best Architect or Designer for a Self Build Project We couldn’t be prouder of this project — a heartfelt self-build for a couple who devoted their lives to helping others through horticulture. Highlights: • A light-filled, accessible home designed for comfort and connection to nature • A dramatic timber scissor roof and seamless glazing that dissolve the boundaries between inside and out • Built with reclaimed brick, locally crafted timber shingles and natural materials celebrating Cornish craftsmanship • A collaborative journey that brought together client, architect and makers in a shared vision At CREATE, we take pride in truly listening to our clients, understanding their needs, their story, and creating designs that feel uniquely theirs.

Create have worked hard in 2024 to update their Net Zero Carbon plan. Working with Planet A and partners we have developed a detailed plan to establish our current carbon footprint and work out how to get to net zero. Our proposal is to reduce our already low footprint by 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2040. Any remaining carbon will be offset at that stage with the use of carbon offsetting scheme. We have at the same time been delivering the Ealing Film Studio’s project which is the world’s first carbon negative film studio, and have been working on the planning stage of what we believe is the UK’s largest Passivehaus scheme and a zero carbon SEND school. We look forward to continuing to work for a better future next year. Thank you to all those who support and help us along this journey! #sustainabledesign #carbonreduction #netzerocarbon #sustainability #passivhaus #design #architecture #carbonnegative #ealingstudios #betterfutures
