Our latest project on site is a new build straw home on the north coast of Cornwall using the EcoCocon wall system. The panels combine straw and timber to create a vapour permeable wall which, when combined with external wood-fibre insulation, creates an air-tight construction with no thermal bridges.
By using renewable materials, the building will save several tons of CO2, something that we will be investigating more fully as the project progresses.
At KAST we are passionate about building more sustainably, and by using the EcoCocon system we are able to ensure this new home will have both low embodied and operation carbon emissions.
It’s certainly generating a lot of interest among local architects and contractors.
