"eco-house in a Cotswold nature reserve has been sold for... £7.2 million... design is based on the bee orchid found on the reserve...
Orchid House is situated in the 550-acre Lower Mill nature reserve near Cirencester, which was created from abandoned gravel workings. The development is one-fifth housing and four-fifths reserve... The home will take three years to build. It is hoped it will produce more energy than it uses, with an underground heat pump, geothermal heating and cooling, rainwater and solar and wind power."
