Below are examples of projects that we are involved in to do with building.


The ruralZED Project

The ruralZED Project

The ruralZED project built at Holmans old factory in Camborne by the Cornwall Sustainable Building Trust. This design won a competition to provide affordable, sustainable housing in the County. Planning permission for the first two houses has been granted in the Newquay growth area. The Sustainable Trust provided support by publicising this project, researching and providing items for the interior. One of our Trustees supervised the build.
