Natural Building

What is Natural Building?

“The use of natural materials with occasional recyclable materials that promote a healthy living environments, maintain indoor air quality and fulfil the needs of people and planet”

Whether it is the balancing of humidity, the gentle smell of the healthy materials or the warmth from the sun through a well placed window, a natural build achieves something indescribable that has to be felt.  Through the use of many natural materials such as Hemp, lime, clay, straw, timber, wool, recycled foamed glass and more we achieve an optimal internal environment at minimal cost to the earth.
