Naturhus project submitted to Scottish Government

16.04.23

We have concluded our work on the first phase of the Naturhus project and submitted it to the Just Transition Commission of the Scottish Government. The research demonstrated that timber homes, self-built within greenhouse enclosures, could deliver significant sustainability benefits including very low carbon emissions, very low energy needs for heating, access to homegrown, healthy food and resilient, community-centered lifestyles.
