Course summary

During this course we will be building a three bedroom family home on a small farm. The site is a part of the farm that was once a stone quarry for the village houses, after that it became the village dump, for all manner of ash, bottles etc. This was closed in the 1960s, and since then has been a small copse of larch trees and the farm machinery store.

Our building will sit on car tyre foundations (already constructed) under an old, reused steel Dutch barn which has been reconditioned and moved from another part of the farm.

The aim is to build a house that is carbon neutral in day-to-day use, but also to use as little energy as possible in construction – building with renewable and recycled materials, sequestering carbon in the structure (wood and straw).
