Technologies
The systems and technologies we implement follow regenerative design principles
Fabric & Thermal Performance
Through a ‘fabric first’ approach, installing high-performance insulation, heat-retaining thermal mass, and ensuring strict airtightness to minimise the building’s heating demand. Optimising solar capture through strategic glazing and heat-retention surfaces to reduce long-term running costs. Integrating MVHR to supply continuous fresh air while recovering up to 90% of internal heat.
Materials & Carbon Strategy
Transforming a building into a carbon store. Prioritizing bio-based materials like straw bale, timber, lime, and clay to lock away carbon for the building’s lifetime. Sourcing ‘Ultra-Locally’, harnessing materials already present on site, such as clay rich soil or coppices. Specifying with longevity and durability in mind, selecting natural materials that will last, with minimal mantenance.
Ecological Stewardship
Regenerating native woodlands and rewilding landscapes to enhance biodiversity and stitch the building into the natural landscape. Designing water management systems that positively integrate into local ecological systems, benefitting both humans and the natural environment.
Smart Energy Systems
A fully integrated energy system, utilising Solar PV for renewable generation, Batteries for storage and increasing self sufficiency, and a Heat Pump for high-efficiency, low carbon heating.
