This project involved the reconstruction of a former barn building in the village of Meopham in Kent to create a 3-bedroom, Passivhaus-standard dwelling with a guest wing set around a south-facing courtyard.
The project has been self-built by the owner and utilises a CNC-cut timber-frame superstructure - and is is due to complete in early 2018.
