The Challenge

To create a structure that was energy efficient with Passivhaus levels of insulation, high-performance triple glazing, electric car chargers and MVHR whilst reusing an original steel framed agricultural barn.

The SOLID Approach

To conserve the existing building the inner timber frame is self-supporting and essentially a building within a building, the original structure being left untouched.
