The Green Register’s March Twilight Talk – our free, one-hour forays into new developments – saw architect Josh Wood take us on his journey in planning, designing and constructing his city self-build home. On 29th March, join us in Bristol to see the house in real life as Josh opens his doors for a peek at the inner workings of the build, such as the MVHR system, before internal boarding hides the services away.

If you were unable to join the latest Twilight Talk session or would like to watch again, you can see a free recording of the event below. All previous Twilight Talks are on our YouTube page.

You can access the presentation here.
