Our client, Waterevolution engaged with us to develop their design concept of a sustainable household system that would lower utility costs and be kind to the environment. The system involves the use of wastewater from the shower and bath to flush the household toilets and a heat recovery system that used the warmth from the wastewater to heat further hot water.
The initial brief was to design the system for manufacture. We challenged this and produced a system that is cost effective, streamlined, simplified and ready for manufacture.
We are pleased to announce, the project has been completed and our client is very happy with the result.
'Origin took Waterevolution’s concept for a domestic heat and grey-water recycling unit and created a product. The unit they developed for us was smaller, lighter, more ‘intelligent’ and cost less than one fifth of the prototype design that we had arrived with. Their focused but pragmatic approach was instrumental in achieving the result. They helped us to realise what we actually wanted and what the market would buy. They challenged us even when it would have been easy to avoid the argument and the result is infinitely better for their rigour. Not only were the team impressive for their skills and approach but they were fun to work with and tireless in their enthusiasm to ‘get it right’. A very valuable and enjoyable process which we would happily repeat...'Stephen Bates, CEO, Waterevolution
