The Ecohome : The garden and house walls
Although small, the garden will be made as productive as possible with food plants all year round. This small scale landscape management will be entirely organic and based on permaculture principles, with composting bins, wormery and natural pest control. A small greenhouse is planned as well as a bike shed. The hard landscaping will use tiles reclaimed from the house as well as additional natural materials.

External insulation - As the walls are of 9" (215mm) solid brick there was no possibility of installing cavity insulation. Except for the front face of the house, the entire exterior has been clad with a layer of rigid insulation boards, fixed to the walls mechanically with pins. This has then be reinforced with mesh and rendered for weather protection and appearance. While 50 - 80mm is the usual range of thicknesses of insulation specified, this house will receive about 150mm (6") for maximum energy efficiency.
