Delores Eco-Pod / Treehouse, Walk to Cabot Circus

Situated in the heart of Stokes Croft, your Eco Sleep Pod has the feel of a tree house, however, it is situated above the yard of a working reuse charity. The yard operates Monday to Friday and there will be staff and volunteers on site from 9am until 5pm carrying out furniture stripping, loading and unloading vans. At the end of Backfields on the adjoining street is Lakota nightclub, which can cause some noise over the weekend. Your pod is well insulated so you should not be disturbed if you're napping during the day, however, when it's gloriously warm outside and you have your balcony door or windows open, expect to sometimes hear our reuse work going on in the background. About the Eco Sleep Pods design: Our Eco Sleep Pods, made by Agile Property & Homes, are manufactured using renewable, carbon capturing materials that minimise their environmental footprint, energy costs and CO2 emissions. They are intelligent in operation as well as design; they reduce environmental impact simply and effectively without compromising how people choose to live their lives. They use 90% less energy to heat and light than standard construction materials and methods and are made using the PassivHaus Certified straw construction system. PassivHaus is the most rigorous energy and comfort standard in the world. Why Emmaus Bristol chose this design: We have a need for more affordable housing to provide move on opportunities for residents who are ready for more independent living. Rental prices in Bristol are high, and limited for individuals without renting history, references and a strong credit score. So, we are looking for alternatives, such as the opportunity to build on our roof, using something like the Eco Pods design. New homes would take the form of larger one and two bedroom units, with shared space for growing food and plants. We have planning permission for this development and income from our Eco Sleep Pods will help us to generate the significant funds needed for developing more homes - either here on the roof, or at another location in Bristol. We hope you choose to stay with us and contribute to our solution for creating new, affordable homes. For more detail search for 'Emmaus Bristol Homes of the Roof'
