I like the colour of your wood and wondered if you could tell me what it is and how it weathers? I am guessing this is a photo of the house when new? We live on th Isle of Skye and are interested in building a passive house. Thank you Grace Sutherland
We are delighted to hear you are considering building a passive house! Make sure you get your architect to get site specific climate data, as this could potentially make a big difference to your design and also budget!
The wood used in this project is untreated Austrian larch, which over time becomes a beautiful silver hue, please see attached image taken the other day from the water-front - where you can see the change in colour of the wood.Wishing you the very best with your building project!
