Dewdown Lodge

16/12/2022

0 Comments

 
Another recent project, Dewdown Lodge, is now up to view on our project page.  Unusually for us, this was not a new build, but a re-build of an existing lodge in Somerset.  The result is stylish and energy efficient family home and very happy clients!

"We just want to say thank you. We know this would not have been the easiest build for you nor one that you would normally do (not a new build). But in a way, this is the most sustainable of all – re-imagining an existing building using almost entirely natural materials and going from an EPC rating of E to a B (almost an A). The team were lovely, worked incredibly hard and took real pride in what they did. It shows. "

An update from Hill House

23/1/2019

0 Comments

 
​Work continues at Hill House in Bath. All the groundworks are now complete, which were always to be the biggest challenge in getting the house built. We needed to provide level access from the road on to the site which was 3m lower. To add to complications the site is sloping steeply and was also close to the adjacent Georgian house. We have used a combination of retaining structures, underpinning and strip foundations to tame the site!

​The carpenters are now on site to get the frame going - a 360mm thick engineered timber wall for exceptional U-values and breathability, with a continuous airtight membrane to the inside of the frame to guarantee air quality, efficient heating, and a comfortable living environment for the clients.

Woodlands Project Update

19/4/2018

0 Comments

 
It's all go on site at our current newbuild in France Lynch, Gloucestershire at the moment!

Firstly, a visit from Darren Evans Assessments delivered an impressive air test result of 0.64ACH yesterday.  This highly insulated,  single-storey timber frame home has never been intended for Passivhaus certification (which requires 0.6ACH or lower) but we are very happy with this result nonetheless!

It's all systems go too with our guys installing WARMCEL insulation and preparing the roof for sedum - more photos to come.
