We care about limiting carbon in the environment. Not only in the use of buildings but also in the process of their making. Where typically steel, reinforced or precast concrete was used, we first push for timber and lime.
Here, we are making holes in old brick walls using timber gluelam and timber studs. Beyond that, a brand new extension is emerging made up of timber studs, joists, rafters and roof ties, the structure infilled with timber particle insulation ready to be finished with lime screed and lime plaster. All breathable and not costing the Earth.
