The Welsh county of Monmouthshire is a fairly rural area and shares its borders with Powys to the north, the Severn Estuary to the south, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire to the north and east and Torfaen, Newport and Blaenau Gwent to the west. In the centre of Monmouthshire are the lowlands, a gently undulating area shaped by the River Usk and its tributaries, while to the west of the county the landscape is much hillier, featuring the Black Mountains which are part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, situated in the northwest. The County encompasses approximately 330 square miles and has a population of 93,000 local inhabitants who call Monmouthshire their home. The Town of Monmouth itself has a growing population of around 10,500 and it’s from here that a local, Monmouth Architect such as //www.hillsandcompany.co.uk/ is spearheading the new and exciting, sustainable, environmentally friendly, affordable, designs for building homes and businesses for a greener, healthier world. Creating “Thoughtful Places in Natural Spaces” their ethos is wrapped up in sustainable materials and energy saving technologies. With Global Warming, Climate Change and the fragile state of the Environment in general being hot topics of conversation around the globe, it’s no wonder world leaders, politicians, activists, a professional, experienced, local Monmouth Architect and the ordinary person on the street are doing all they can to help change the future and make it a more positive outcome for the next generations of children to come.
