Explore biodiversity net gain with a landscape walk at Wilder Doddington. This will be followed by a preview of The Wild House for Doddington Hall Passivhaus office project, designed by Steven Dunn Architects. Learn more about their holistic and impactful approach to sustainability in the recently completed Grain Store Cafe.
After experiencing a unique behind the scenes tour and taste of the estate and its philosophy, you'll get authoritative insights into biodiversity net gain considerations for developments with Sara Boland of Influence, and our panel will discuss how to successfully navigate the legislation.
Doddington Hall approached Steven Dunn Architects with a brief to design a learning centre in the grounds of Doddington Hall, where students would visit for education on wildlife conservation and sustainability, which has been a key focus of activity at Doddington for around three generations.
The proposal will include a multi-functional learning space for various activities relating to the Wilder Doddington project, and will provide employment opportunities, training, academic, and volunteering opportunities, assisted by partnerships with local universities. The building will have excellent sustainability standards and is aiming for Passivhaus Premium.
Date of completion: due 2025
