Seahaven

We are currently working on a holiday let house by the sea in the southern part of the UK.

We develop every project with a holistic view of sustainability issues that can improve both the technical performance of the building and the ways in which the guest house connects people to the natural world. Our designs achieve high standards of thermal performance using Passivhaus design methodologies to reduce the space heating demand and lower the operational carbon emissions. We are designing with natural, less-highly-processed materials that have lower embodied carbon emissions associated with their manufacture and transport to site. All materials are ethically produced and manufactured ensuring that they do not contain materials that could damage the indoor air quality of a healthy building.

Our works will enhance biodiversity so that the house and surrounding grassland are also active contributors to the habitat and wildlife resources of the surrounding ecosystem. We also design to avoid waste by following principles of design for disassembly that allow buildings to be taken apart in future.
