+ Timber frame using softwoods from managed sources, timber board materials and English green oak structural framing from storm-damaged stock.
+ All stable organically-based preservatives and timber treatments
+ No CFC’s used
+ Plastic products used to the absolute minimum
+ Fenestration designed to account for sun-paths and passive solar gains available, with the majority of glazing to the south-facing elevation
