Re-imagining the cottage for the 21st century with a complete environmental refurbishment of this Grade II listed home. Wood pellet heating, woodfibre internal wall insulation, solar thermal panels, rainwater harvesting, almost anything you can think of was tried on this project. It became a test bed for new ideas using traditional materials. Combining an internal rearrangement with a new family bathroom, en-suite and altered circulation meant a tired little building was resurrected.
