Breathable construction and heritage upgrades;
This project adopted a fabric-first, breathable approach throughout the original house. Works included full strip-back to brick, removal and rebuild of floors, and the use of traditional and natural materials to improve long-term performance while respecting the building’s Victorian fabric.
Breathable insulation and finishes were incorporated throughout, including limecrete floors, cork insulation and recycled glass insulation supplied by Ty-Mawr, ensuring the house remains vapour-permeable and well suited to its original construction.
