E NE RGY SAVING HOMES THAT ARE A PLEASURE TO LIVE IN

DARKLASS ESTATE 11

WHILST LIVING IN HARMONY with nature is an ideal, these houses bring you closer than most to that ideal. Our aim is to build energy saving houses, requiring minimal maintenance that are a pleasure to live in, saving you money for years to come. Whilst building with slow grown Scandinavian timber ensures the embodied energy of the structure is minimised, high quality bespoke construction is achieved in a climate controlled factory environment where waste is minimal and nothing less than perfection is accepted. 

WE AIM TO PROMOTE sustainable housing first and foremost by ensuring the fabric of the building is energy efficient, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Having insulated and sealed the building to a high standard it is important to maintain air quality without losing heat. To that end we have made a conscious decision not to use any fossil fuels to heat our homes, instead all our homes use ground source heat pumps which attracts the highest RHI repayments.  So not only are you kept warm but your energy consumption is low and the associated bills kept to a minimum.
