Eco Building/Passiv Haus
Designing timber frames that present the detailed requirements for high levels of insulation, airtightness and thermal bridging has become an increasingly important part of our business. Working for a range of clients, we have gained the specialised knowledge that has enabled their builds to meet and exceed the requirements of the Passivhaus standard.
Cullen Timber Design can:
- work with green architects and builders, sharing a common language, motivation and goal
- promote the use of ecofriendly build materials at every possible opportunity with the design process
- design a frame with the minimal use of steel, exploring all possible structural options through close liaison with likeminded structural engineers
- create a design that values the minute details that help eliminate the risk of air leaks and thermal bridging
- work to ensure a build method that shows green integrity
- design with carbon footprint in mind, in terms of the transportation of materials to site
