Man's mind stretched to a new idea

never goes back to its original dimensions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

Special Features


The design and construction of the building aims to provide the best of current technical solutions with a high level of ecological awareness. Specifically the cabins are designed to be energy efficient, use non-toxic and sustainable materials and be 100% recyclable.

Unique timber frame panel construction with the latest vapour barrier technology make for a strong, extremely durable and weather tight construction. This creates a dry stable atmosphere that looks after you and your possessions.

High insulation levels provide extremely low levels of energy usage even in the coldest weather. For example even at minus 5 degrees centigrade less than 1 kilowatt of energy would be required for an internal temperature of 21 degrees. This also means low energy costs and minimum carbon emissions with reduced impact on the environment.

Heat and power supply via wind turbine, solar panels and wood-burning stove are all options which make it independent of public utilities. Energy management system allows instant feedback of energy usage and generation.

The curved roof adds a special quality and look to this building. It is clad with the latest zinc coated aluminium for strength and durability or the option of green turf for more sensitive locations. The aluminium has a pale grey matt finish.
