  Looks about right!
Our Church Rd project coming together in Combe Down. We took the original architects design, which was coming in miles over budget, and simplified, re-imagined and re-detailed until it worked. Among other changes, we designed-out a few tons of high energy steel, leaving an entirely timber framed structure. Now nearing completion its looking great. Credit to HRA architects for the concept design, Henry for the technical design and George and the Greenheart team for all the hard graft. Watch this space for updates as we continue to ice the eco-cake!

It's all kicking off in Colerne! Groundworks have begun on a three-bedroom, timber-clad home in rural Wiltshire, that will be built to Passive House standard.  Passive House-standard Design & Build project in Colerne, Wiltshire This is a Greenheart In-House Design & Build project, implementing the Passive House Planning Package. The house will be timber-framed and WARMCEL insulated and - we hope! - complete by next summer.  How the site currently looks at our new Passive House-standard home in Colerne, Wiltshire We have started work on Hill House, a timber-framed, WARMCEL-insulated family home which will boast four bedrooms, three bathrooms and far-reaching views across Bath and the surrounding countryside.  Our experienced team have already started the complex groundworks - which involve ground retaining walls and underpinning existing structures - on the steep, tight site, which is the clients' current garden. The clients can look forward to moving into their new Passivhaus-standard home in around twelve months time, enjoying spacious open-plan living with bedrooms downstairs and living quarters upstairs, to maximise enjoyment of the views down the valley. The house will have a car-charging port, Thin Film PV Panels applied to the metal standing Seam roof and an air source heat pump providing heating and hot water. The finishes will be Larch, Breathable Render and Cotswold Stone. Lots of hard work ahead on this exciting eco home that has been thoughtfully designed by CaSA Architects and Greenheart. See above for how it WILL look... and below for how it looks at this early stage!      We have set to work on the refurbishment and extension of a tired 1950's two-storey house in Backwell, near Bristol, designed in collaboration with s2 design. A large two-storey, open plan Timber frame extension will have lots of glass to the rear of the building to make the most of the views over the Severn estuary, with WARMCEL insulation and high spec triple glazed windows keeping it snug. The existing house will be fully refurbished with new windows, improved levels of insulation and new interior layout.  The Timber Frame is in place and we continue to make good progress at the Passive House in Nailsea, Somerset. |
