Built with legwork & love on a very modest budget, this compact little winner is double glazed with reverse brick veneer & hydronic heating that keeps it warm all year round. Well oriented & designed on a pin wheel planning principle the sun keeps all the rooms warmed through the day. Thermal mass on the inside of the home - concrete floor with bagged & painted brick walls - radiate their heat through the night back into the house, meaning the hydronic heating just ticks over to top up the built in warmth. A Structural Insulated Panel roof with a R value of over 5 keeps the warmth from leaking away. Heating bills 1/3 of other houses the owners have rented in the area. Its a simple little building, with plain low cost finishes that has made some home owners very very happy.
