Ecotourism The Glencoe Visitor Centre Sensitively integrated into an awesome site, this award-winning project of GAIA Scotland contains an wide range of green solutions. The design is based on a real understanding of site ecology, indoor climate, energy conservation, non toxic materials, water management. Green solutions are integrated into an architecture that expresses a quietly modern, harmonious regionalism. The overall form is a group of small building volumes, reminiscent of the traditional regional clachans. There is a deliberate mix of local materials, including stone and timber, and a variety which gives a “village� feel to the visitor complex. GAIA -Oslo as – Sustainable Architecture and Planning

Healthy Materials
30
The ecology of building materials Construction materials have effects on three main levels: - Indoor climate and health - Local environment - Global environment Of these, the first is most important. But the effects on land, water use and energy requirements of producing building materials are one of the major factors in regional environmental damage and global climate change. The effects when materials are discarded or when they burn are also significant. The GAIA group has worked with this issue for over 20 years, has published widely and contributed to new solutions for many areas of construction. Healthy and hygroscopic materials also contribute in a major way to managing humidity in buildings, and reduce the need for expensive ventilation systems. GAIA projects such as Tollhouse Gardens in Perth (GAIA Scotland), the Low Allergy houses at Bygg for Fremtiden in Stavanger (GAIA Lista / GrimsĂŚth, 1998) and the Eble schools and housing, have been forerunners in designing healthy indoor environments for all. Lime plasters and even clay which have very small environmental effects and energy use, and outstanding humidity characteristics, are making a renaissance, and these products can now be bought in building stores in other European countries. Timber is one of the healthiest materials as long as one considers the whole life cycle: forestry must be sustainable, transport distances should be reasonably short, and wood must not be impregnated with toxic chemicals or with artificial finishes which prevent it from breathing. A variety of new solutions are available for using exposed timber which is treated with natural oils or left untreated

Ecotourism The turf roof is laid in the traditional way, with 2 layers of turf, grass down first, then grass up on top. The turf is held in place by a log wrapped in birch bark, with juniper hooks holding it on. The office roof in the second story has a diamond shaped pattern with white and red sedum varieties. ”Takløk” = ”roof onion” was traditionally used on roofs because they tolerate dry periods and protect against fire.
