Lime rendered strawbale external walls, recycled timber framing and radially sawn timber cladding create a comfortable aesthetic to this residence to relate to the surrounding environment.
Thermally the home functions for the owners aided by double glazed timber framed windows, solar-passive design, orientation of the building and highly insulated walls and ceiling. |

Electricity, drinking water and sewer disposal are managed onsite by photovoltaic solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a composting toilet respectively.
Incorporating a loft area within the roof maximised the space available, with the added benifit of minimising the overall footprint of the design. |
