Welcome to 'The ZEDfactory'!

As leaders in the field of zero-carbon design and development, we have a unique track record of delivering Zero (fossil) Energy Development (ZED) buildings in the UK - click the image below to see the realisation of our latest buildings at Jubilee Wharf, Cornwall.

We offer the full range of architectural services, from masterplanning and design of large-scale 'eco villages' to one-off individual building commissions. We also offer architect-developer services under our "land partnering" initiative, where we employ a range of 'standard' house-types and off-site manufacture to minimise risk and cost. Our latest house-type, RuralZED, uses a timber-frame kit with thermally-massive lining.

The Bill Dunster architects ZEDfactory Ltd practice comprises 11 architects plus visualisation designers and office management staff. BDa ZEDfactory also has access to additional specialist expertise from a range of consultants, which it uses regularly.

We are always pushing the boundaries to try to advance the construction industry's approach to low-carbon, low-impact buildings and to make the technologies and thinking more accessible to all. We do this in all sorts of ways - our current initiatives include a small exhibition(details coming soon) showing microgeneration technologies, and a 'ZEDshop' to pump-prime the supply chain and to reduce prices.
