Construction
Our natural building services offer a diverse range of techniques that prioritise sustainability, health, and energy efficiency in building design. We use methods including straw–bale construction, lime renders, clay plasters, adobe, hempcrete, and carpentry, among others. This allows us to create aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly living spaces.
For insulation we use straw bales, which not only provide excellent thermal insulation but also contribute to a healthier living environment. Additionally, we apply breathable lime renders and clay plasters. Which will enhance the visual appeal of the space and improve indoor air quality. From wood fibre to hemp insulation and cellulose fibres, the modern natural products we choose prioritise human health and the safety of our planet.
