A unique Passivhaus project, with Archico providing the technical design information for Avocado Construction Ltd to bring this ambitious barn conversion to life.
Working within the constraints of a strict Class Q conversion, we explored and tested various construction methods before our client settled on R-Wall’s XPS ICF system. The project, on top of material requirements to acheive and exceed Passivhaus performance standards also required emitting no or negligible VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Balancing these high-performance standards with the restrictions of a Class Q conversion made this a particularly interesting technical input for us.
It’s great to see work finally getting underway on site, and we’re looking forward to seeing this one progress!
