There is more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere than at any time in human history. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. Sea levels are rising faster than ever before. Swathes of forests and sea ecosystems are being lost. The science tells us we need to act urgently to confront climate change.
Our world has been transformed in the past fifty years, but houses remain largely the same as they’ve always been. EcoGen is different. It combines existing Genesis design elegance, modern palates, and high specification, with the latest in sustainable technology. The outcome: Radically reducing your carbon footprint and truly living for the future….
We do not intend to stop there. EcoGen is a live and ongoing project. The clue is in the name: we are committed to mitigating our effect on the environment and evolving with the needs of our world. EcoGen is about getting ahead of the crisis. Its about learning, changing, guiding, and ultimately committing.
Changing the world is tough, and challenging convention requires courage. We know its not going to be easy, that’s why we are working in a way that encourages evolution of our core house product, that provides the freedom to explore how we plan and layout our developments with wellbeing and biodiversity in mind, and to continue being curious and sharing what we learn along the way.
Why be creative? Why challenge the norm? Why EcoGen? Because the world has changed – it is no longer possible to solve today’s problems with yesterdays solutions. When it comes to climate change, there is no Plan B. If you are excited about accelerating the transition to zero-carbon, we’d welcome you to join us….

Our Fabric First Approach
Every Genesis Home is designed to demand less energy. We go beyond current building regulations to build highly insulated homes that minimise draughts and cold spots. This means the home has very low air leakage, ensuring the home has an overall low heat demand.
Our homes need much less energy to be warm and comfortable.
