Key Sustainable Design Features:
- Photovoltaic Solar panels substantially reduce the house’s energy needs and the owners dependence on the energy grid.
- Timber Frame Construction, means less energy loss and a warmer house.
- Solar gains, thereby reducing the need for energy needed to heat the house.
- Superior levels of insulation using cellulose recycled newspaper insulation reduce energy required to heat the house. Cellulose also has an increased density which holds the heat better.
- High performance glazing not only reduces energy loss, but also reduces the cold radiant feel of windows.
- A wood burning stove providing space heating and additional water heating. Wood is a renewable source and is carbon neutral.
- The use of vegetation and landscaping to protect the house against dominant prevailing winds.

This is an organic Lime Wash done with a true lime wash product as opposed to a brick mortar or concrete that is often seen on new houses. This product can be applied as a solid coating making the surface completely white, or can be applied and "washed off" in many artistic ways, as seen here. If you hate your brick or just want something unique this is a great option!
