The project was to demolish an existing detached bungalow and separate garage and to provide a new, timber frame, Eco Bungalow in replacement. Due to the curve of the roof, the structural frame was built from Glulam (Glue Laminated Timber) and SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) were used to construct the external walls. The use of SIPs creates a highly insulated envelope which is extremely airtight, thus reducing the requirement for heating which reduces energy bills and the carbon footprint.

The design incorporates an air source heat pump, external Siberian Larch timber cladding which is low maintenance, and a sedum/grass roof to reduce the amount of surface water run off.
