Good life centre
The Hive
Coming soon to South Wales
Our vision
We are a family enterprise with a vision to inspire and promote a healthy, sustainable lifestyle: Supporting a symbiotic relationship between us and our planet for future generations.
The Hive Good Life Centre will be open to the public. Offering a social enterprise, lecture room, workshops, shop and cafe.
The build is currently underway. Designed to sit sympathetically within a four acre site in The Vale of Glamorgan. Utilising environmental elements and resources, The Hive will showcase sustainable building methods as a working model.
The design consists of an oak frame, high performance SIPS system and sheeps wool insulation.
Window orientation has been designed to maximise solar gain and a rainwater harvesting tank will be used to minimise water consumption.
The site boasts an off grid sewage treatment plant and sits on an off grid water supply.
The development will aim to meet best practice criteria, as set out under the code for sustainable homes to address the following issues:
Energy efficiency, water consumption, surface water run off, waste management, pollution, ecology, health and wellbeing.
