Going Green
We never really had any great green aspirations when we started out on this project. Our design priorities were mainly aesthetic rather than practical. Our goal was to build a beautiful place to live.
As the design has taken shape, it has grown to incorporate many features that are considered green or ecological.
- Highly specified insulation.
- Underfloor heating & a ground source heat pump.
- Rain-water harvesting
I’ll post more on each of these in coming days…

A rainbow rose over the pipeline today!
I must admit I loathe the thing.

I can't believe that April is drawing to a close and I've not managed an update since the end of March.
