The Reflecting Wales Exhibition is now underway as part of the Cardiff Design Festival.

The purpose of the exhibition is to highlight the breadth and depth of innovative work in the built environment, and to reveal emerging architects, designers, artists and students whose work critically explores the built environment in Wales.

An entry from Gillard Associates was selected for display; this is a sketch model of a low energy dwelling which is inserted into a very difficult development site. The dwelling is designed to provide a high quality of living space whilst taking into consideration the need to protect the amenity of adjacent dwellings and enhance the surroundings, whilst striving to make minimal impact on the environment. The south facing gable wall is covered in solar cells which will help make the building a very low energy dwelling.
