• A natural material which would not pollute the environment containing no toxic preservatives
• Insulation which would not irritate the skin, or release harmful dust particles into the air

Project Details
Tog House is located on the Isle of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides on the West Coast of Scotland and is a new-build extension to a traditional Tiree ‘Blacktop’ House. The extension is contemporary in design, and pays homage to traditional details of these vernacular buildings that have evolved to resist the worst Atlantic weather. The timber frame and thick walls of natural insulation produce a comfortable interior environment that will meet modern energy performance standards.
