David Wilson Homes has joined forces with Finchampstead C of E Primary School on a creative poster challenge as part of its energy efficiency campaign, highlighting the efficient features of its new homes.
Nine students from year 3 and 4 were tasked with creating innovative poster designs to show what an efficient home of the future could look like.
Designs included colourful displays of the different ways new builds can save energy.
The workshop is part of the housebuilder’s wider campaign, which includes partnering with local schools and community groups to help visualise the energy and water savings of its new-build homes at Finchwood Park.
The partnership aims to educate and inspire young minds about sustainable living, while showcasing the energy-efficient features of the development. The posters will now be displayed in an interactive exhibition at David Wilson Homes’ Finchwood Park development.
David Wilson Homes uses highly thermally efficient insulation and argon-filled double glazing, which could mean lower heating costs.
A brand-new home could be up to 65% cheaper to run, meaning residents can save up to £979 on running costs.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see the posters and find out more about its homes at the development’s energy efficiency open day on April 5, 2025.
Jacquie Vanstone, headteacher at Finchampstead C of E School, said: “The poster workshop was a great opportunity for our students to learn the importance of energy savings whilst showcasing their creative talent.
“All the students had so much fun and are looking forward to seeing their work on display at Finchwood Park.”
Alex Dowling, sales and marketing director at Barratt David Wilson Southern Counties, said: “It was great to see how the students could take the concept of energy saving and transform this into creative designs.
“Their innovative approach to what sustainable homes might look like in the future is fantastic to see and hopefully will inspire the community to take action towards a more sustainable future when on display at Finchwood Park.”
Buyers can discover their new home at Finchwood Park with a selection of four- and five-bedroom homes available.
Prices start from £756,995 for a four bedroom home.
