The Hen House
Our considered structural design dramatically reduced construction costs.
Despite the tight, steeply sloping site we worked cleverly with the architects and the existing ground levels to avoid the need for a single retaining wall in our design.
A very efficient and elegant design, using structural insulated timber panels, simple steel sections and a masonry plinth level, allowed the structure to work in harmony with the architectural design. Yet our approach saved 30% in construction time compared to traditional construction methods.
This is a home that sits lightly in its landscape, with minimal running costs and maximum delight.
