Technique of construction was used for the first time in Spain in 1382,
known as the Catalan vault system. Low arch made of many layers of bricks
glued to each other, with different orientation courses in order to achieve
robustness without requiring additional support structures.
It is designed by Richard Hawkes also as one of the first zero carbon
houses in the UK. The house is harnessing solar energy to generate all
its own electricity and thermal energy.
The building demonstrates how contemporary design can celebrate
local materials and crafts and integrate new technologies to produce
a highly sustainable building that sits lightly on the Earth.
