Crest Nicholson's ICON development show home virtual tourICON is an inspirational development in Street, Somerset by Crest Nicholson; a development unique to this part of the country. A collection of 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3, and 4 bedroom houses of both two and three storeys. ICON is located less than a mile from the centre of Street, a busy small town just south of Glastonbury, about eight miles from Wells and thirteen miles from Bridgwater. It is set close to the Quantock and Mendip Hills, and from high viewpoints you can glimpse the Bristol Channel. Crest Nicholson has created ICON to bring together choice, sustainability, outstanding contemporary architecture, desirable interior design, seamlessly integrated homes, open space, public space, community and environment. ICON offers 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3 & 4 bedroom houses of both two and three storeys. Homes benefit from garages or allocated parking. Most houses include innovative outside private deck areas and have been designed to the Building Research Establishment's (BRE) top EcoHome rating of Eco Excellent. And inside, a superb specification showcases Crest Nicholson's flair for cutting edge interior design and decoration. The designs include as many energy saving, low CO2 emitting appliances and energy efficient features as possible. Iconic living is for everyone. ICON homes are designed to reach the stringent standards laid down by the Building Research Establishment's (BRE) EcoHomes system. EcoHomes Excellent standard is the most energy efficient rating and we have made enormous efforts to make sure the homes meet the criteria required to reach this level. It is a holistic approach that takes into account the construction process, impact on the surrounding environment, the health and well-being of residents as well as the source of building materials used and the actual "carbon footprint" of the homes once they are being lived in. EcoHomes ratings are based on a "points" system to determine which level a development meets. In designing ICON Crest Nicholson took the following into account: Energy Including CO2 emissions, kitchen appliances and lighting Residents' Access To public transport, cycle stores and provision for working at home Pollution During construction and when homes are in use Materials Use of timber from sustainable sources, recycling waste, A-rated construction materials Water Reduced internal and external consumption Land Use Ecology Crest Nicholson have conserved and improved wherever possible the ecology of the site Health and Well-Being Designing homes to have plenty of light, good sound insulation and private outdoor space where possible |
