Blast Furnace Slag strip foundation mixed with up to 80% recycled aggregate as an alternative to portland cement based concrete. Sections of prefab floor plates lowered in on to supporting blockwork on top of foundation Load bearing, prefab, heavily blown cellulose fibre insulated casette walls bolted into place, ready to be wrapped in DPC and int/ext cladding On top of water proofing layers, a final mortared heavy green slate cladding skirt is wrapped around the lower segment of building to help with further protection from water and representative of maximum flooding water levels. FInally, 600mm thick prefab roof sections lowered on top of load bearing prefab walls ready for PV and thermal panel installation. ‘U’ SHAPE DESIGN From the very start of this project, the ‘U’ shape (Inspired by the original buildings constructed in the lake district to create a sheltered courtyard area) was a key part of this buildings design. This form helps to protect what would eventually become and outdoor veiwing deck from the prevailing winds. Marine ply skin that wraps prefab wall buildups Standard 4x2 timber framework Glulam timber floor joists inside pre fab timber floor plates Repurposed lake district green slate cladding skirt DPC layer between strutural block work and floor system Structural block work Blast furnace slag concrete strip foundation Blown Cellulose Insulation • Made from up to 85% recycled wood and paper • low financial cost • fire retardant • Settles easily into any awkwardly shaped pre fabricated wall systems
