Description

A six bedroom timber frame  ‘Zero Carbon’ House.

The space and water heating is provided by solar panels and a wood chip boiler system. The structure is a hybrid of a traditional Oak Frame, with a modern timber panel external skin which is clad in cedar. The footprint for the house is over 650 sq m. 

 

The walls, roof, floor and windows are insulated to around twice the level required in the building regulations at the time of construction. The house is built to a high standard of air tightness which is close to those found in a Passivhaus. Many of the materials used in the construction of the house are from sustainable sources, or can be recycled
