Garry has put into practice some of his design and build ideas for sustainable construction. His own new-build house incorporates passive solar gain; locally sourced straw bale insulation, timber from sustainably managed forestry reserves together with recycled paper & plastic bottle insulation products. Wood burner and pellet heating have made for a cozy, modern family home which has a good 'fit' with its rural setting. Getting planning permission was relatively straightforward... building it more challenging!
