Achieving a BREEAM Excellent rating in 2009, Dragonfly House, which was built for Jarrold & Sons, was one the East of England’s most eco-friendly buildings at the time, personally praised by Environment Secretary Hilary Benn who said it was“A living example of what the future looks like.”

Using the most up to date sustainable technologies available, it made use of the sun for space and heating, featured air conditioning using earth cooling and rainwater harvesting.

Initially home to the Broads Authority, and government agencies Natural England and the Environment Agency, this modern timber clad building still looks stunning thirteen years later, sitting adjacent to the River Wensum with views to Norwich Cathedral.
