Read more about us and how we work

introduction

We are part of a growing movement of builders, designers, architects and academics looking for appropriate, sustainable solutions within the construction industry. We come from a background in academic studies combined with grass-roots practical experience in working with natural materials. This balance of disciplines puts us in a strong position to lead on innovative projects.

We work on a range of projects from small renovations to larger new-build developments. Collaborating within a network of like-minded people we are able to bring in the right person or team for the job.

New build

We provide a range of services from consultancy and support project management on Assisted Self-Builds, to coming in as specialist subcontractors to install specific elements during the construction phase. Commonly on timber-framed, straw bale homes this takes the form of constructing the weather-tight shell - installing the carpentry, straw bale walls, and clay and lime plastering elements or timber cladding to protect the structure.

Renovation

We have worked on a range of traditional, heritage and listed properties as well as more recently built homes. A good knowledge and understanding of the building fabric, materials science, occupant behaviour and the complexities of working on existing properties helps us deliver projects to a high standard using appropriate materials in a timely manner.
