The EcoFrame concept builds an ecological, passive house, around a traditional timber frame structure.
We believe your house should be a representation of your taste and values.
We can help you achieve that!
Our houses are based on a simple concept: we use ecological materials to provide very high energy efficiency built around timber frame. Both inside and outside looks are up to you.
The EcoFrame concept is very simple: a thick ecological insulation layer around a traditional timber frame. But there are many implication and options.
The EcoFrame concept fulfils the passive house standard while using ecological materials.
Having such good insulation not only saves you energy, the planet resources but also creates a very comfortable atmosphere.
The passive house standard revolves around 5 main ideas that we explain here:
All the materials we use are ecological, mostly wood-based.
Needless to say, there is no plastic used in Eco-frame houses.
The timber frame wood is sourced from local, sustainable forests.
At the heart of our Ecoframe houses is a timber frame. This is a century-old English wood joinery technique, that was developed to build houses without nails.
We use it to create open spaces and you decide, how much or little you want to incorporate into your home.
Building a house is a big project, but with a uniquely rewarding outcome. Depending on how familiar you are with the process, we can help you from the start, designing your house. Or you can choose one of our model templates.
We are very aware that building a house is a very large financial commitment. Together we manage the risk, and we help you understand the monetary impact of your choices from the start.
Building a house follows its own natural process. Size, layout, and many more decisions come together in a plan.
This plan not only needs the official approval, but also provides a basis for construction and the payment plan.
Your house should not only suit your space needs but also uniquely fit your taste. If you want, we can help you with creating the planning permission, or you can get an architect.
It is important that you find someone whom you work well with and who can bring your vision to paper.
We have templates that range from tiny houses to large family homes. Size and number of rooms are usually the first decisions and affect the price the most.
Remember also that these designs are a start, and should be tailored to your needs.
Planning a house involves many choices, and they have an impact on the budget. The difference is not always obvious, so we talk to you right from the start about the effects your decisions will have on the total cost.
