Mid-refurb!

An extraordinary self-build project to significantly extend and energy efficiently refurbish a mid Victorian semi-detached villa. The owner is carrying out most of the work himself including some fairly serious structural challenges and braving all weather.

Features:
Single storey rear extension shell complete including green roof, Passivhaus style timber frame and oak cladding.
Large side extension substantially underway including a full size basement built next to the existing house which alone took a year owning to needing to underpin sections, build retaining walls and beam others. Superstructure of extension 3 storeys above basement in Porotherm clay interlocking lattice blocks 365 mm thick (complete) with 100 mm EWI over (planned).
Green Building Store windows throughout, different ranges. 
TJI engineered floor joists.
PV on the workshop.
Solar thermal planned on large dormer roof.
Wood pellet boiler planned.
Double height conservatory planned.
Roof should be complete and windows installed ready for EWI.

Opening times: 17th May, 2pm. A further tour will be arranged later in the afternoon if numbers require it.
