A Self Build Timber Frame & Non-load bearing, cast in situ, Hempcrete Family Home. Going on Site 2024.

Working with an ambitious Self Builder through from Planning to completion. Planning Approval was gained in 2023, a reworking of an outline planning application which was attached to the site when purchased by the clients.

The scheme incorporates four buildings in total. The Principal Dwelling, a Barn / Annexe, Workshop & Timber Framed Garage.

The project seeks to use Sustainable materials wherever possible, particularly employing the use of Hempcrete for the Dwelling & Annexe. We have been working closely with a Structural Engineer to arrive at a system whereby a the timber frame can be braced sufficiently to remove the need for OSB sheathing, allowing the Hempcrete and Lime Render & Plaster to breathe in the way it needs to.

Part of the larger Self Build Scheme due on site this year, the workshop will be constructed first to provide much needed space to assemble elements of the new home and annexe barn #selfbuild #workshop #suffolk #architecture
