For their sixth self-build, the owners wanted to push the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of performance and aesthetics.They chose timber frame on the basis that it has been tried, tested and incrementally developed and improved over hundreds of years. Their philosophy from the outset was to build  from the inside out, investing heavily in the fabric. They prioritised high levels of insulation, both in the timber frame and in the floors and ceilings.  They also worked towards achieving a healthy house by choosing materials such as timber and aluminium clad windows, hardwood floors and low VOC (volatile organic compound) surfaces. Additionally, they have installed whole house water filtration, air to air heat pumps with plasma filters and a whole house heat recovery unit in response to achieving a remarkable 1.3 Air Pressure Test result.
