Project Background

My family have bought a dilapidated red-brick barn and ten acres of land. The barn has not been lived in for over 100 years; it is not watertight; it is not structurally sound; and does not have electricity or sewage connection. It does have planning permission to be converted for residential use.
Over the next year or so is I will be designing and re-building the barn economically. With government feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and the rising price of oil, it is probable a lot of design will be ‘green’.




The property will also be used for the Bird On The Hand falconry centre, requiring woodland, aviaries and a visitor centre.

I hope you will keep posted and watch my knowledge of sustainable engineering grow and the project unfold.
