Photo by Charlotte GannMY LEWES: DUNCAN BAKER-BROWNWhen did you move to Lewes, and why? In1990. I’d been living in Nunhead, South Londonand my girlfriend Kate (now wife) was living nearTunbridge Wells. I’d been studying Architecturepart-time at what was then North London Poly,and also working in a practice. I decided I wantedto study full-time – and for various reasons endedup at the University of Brighton. We moved toLewes by accident, because we couldn’t find a flatin Brighton. We rented the black tile house inWestern Road (next to the loos) for six months.I knew nothing of Lewes, to the extent that firstBonfire night, I was working from home and sawa faint shimmer at the curtain; drawing it back, Ifound Vikings with burning crosses.Today we live in the sustainable house we built– SparrowHouse, on the Nevill. The idea was toprove that green could be cheap – the build cost£147,000. We didn’t use normal materials, and wedidn’t use many. All the insulation is sheep’s wool;the timber frame, and sweet chestnut claddinglocally sourced; the white walls and ceilings, clay.You run BBM Sustainable Design? I do, withlong-term partner Ian McKay; we met at uni.Today the business is based in CooksbridgeStation House. Ian and I got together to enterRIBA’s House of the Future competition, whichwe won, in 1993. Sustainability has always beenan uncool thing to be preoccupied with; we’vealways been preoccupied with it. And togetherwe won six competitions from the mid-90s to thenoughties, including the Greenwich MillenniumVillage. The best thing about that, in the longrun, was getting legendary Ralph Erskine – aBritish architect who’d long decamped toSweden, and was then in his 80s – on board. Hismasterplan included new wetlands for wildfowlthat today provide their wonderful microclimate.How do you see the future? Three quartersof people in the UK now live in local authorityareas that have declared a climate and ecologicalemergency. All because of Greta! And nowheredoes this matter more than in the constructionindustry. Construction uses half the harvestedraw materials, and accounts for half our carbonemissions. It generates 60% of our total wasteannually. If we can sort out the way we procure,inhabit and restore (not demolish) buildings, we’llhave a real impact. It’s why we built the WasteHouse in Brighton: Europe’s first building madefrom over 90% material other people threw away.We recently added tiles made from oyster shellsfrom English’s restaurant, which gets throughabout 1,000 oyster shells a week.For the last 25 years people have been writingsustainability strategies and shelving them.Now plans are actually being implemented;sustainability is becoming economically attractive.We are moving towards a circular economy:designing things for perpetual use, not throwingthem away. I’m really sad about the things we’relosing – watching the Amazon and Arctic burn,watching Australia burn.... But I’m determinedlyrolling up my sleeves and doing something. Wehave to. We’ve got kids.
