Gain insights into its long-term energy performance and future construction.","content":"<p>Join RIBA West Kent for an insightful evening with Richard Hawkes at Crossway, celebrated as the UK's first built Passivhaus and famously featured on Grand Designs. This event offers a unique opportunity to delve into the genesis and enduring legacy of one of the UK\u2019s most influential sustainable homes. Richard Hawkes will recount the journey behind Crossway, sharing reflections on nearly two decades of living in a structure that boasts virtually no energy bills for 17 years, and offering unparalleled insights into its long-term energy performance.<br \/>\nThe session, hosted within the innovative timber frame of the annexe currently under construction, will also provide a firsthand look at the sustainable building methods employed in its creation. Attendees will learn about the use of straw insulation, sourced from the land surrounding the house, demonstrating a commitment to local and eco-conscious construction. Kevin McCloud lauded Crossway as \"an architectural first in this country,\" a testament to its continued relevance as a pioneering example of environmentally responsible design.<br \/>\nThe evening will culminate in a thought-provoking quiz on household energy costs and consumption, followed by an opportunity for networking and continued discussion. This event promises to deliver practical insights directly applicable to your sustainable design practice, fostering a deeper understanding of real-world eco-conscious architecture.<\/p>","website":"https:\/\/www.riba.org\/whats-on\/riba-west-kent-an-evening-with-richard-hawkes-at-crossway\/","dates":"14 July 2026, 18:00","location":"Crossway, Staplehurst, Kent, UK","cost":"Free","date_order":"20260714","banner":false,"banner_back":"","show_until":"","subscription_only_content":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/53388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-categories?post=53388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
