On the surface, the brief for Fostune Barn was quite straightforward: create a warm and cost efficient property.

We could have chosen to build according to current regulations, which would have resulted in a better level of efficiency than you would expect from an average house. This would have been good enough. However, ‘good enough’ isn’t good enough for us. So, we have decided to use the innovative SIPS system to achieve a much higher level of energy efficiency. These structurally insulated, ecologically friendly panels dramatically reduce heating bills and carbon dioxide emissions.
