House Extensions
House Extension - Hartest, Suffolk
A contemporary extension to a medieval thatched timber framed house shows how a contrasting extension can enhance the character and setting of a listed building.
An early example of better than zero carbon design makes use of shallow lime foundations, timber framing, hemp and lime infill with lime render to the outside, hemp roof insulation, timber floors, lime plastered internal walls. An airtight construction with minimal demand for heating. Breathable, excellent acoustic properties, and healthy to live in.
