Solid Building Materials:
Wherever possible, recycled stone has been used for wall, window and roof construction. Concrete has been used for foundations and structural work. Concrete blocks are used in interior walls and concrete lintols bridge doorways and windows. All solid materials were sourced close to our location to avoid excessive transport costs & energy consumption.
Plastics: These were not used unless alternatives could not be found, e.g. in electric cables and waste pipework. There is still an issue to be addressed here.
