Or, for around the same price, we could build homes using @WikiHouse blocks made from wood grown in Scotland, which emits a fraction of the carbon.
In fact, when count the stored carbon in the wood, they’re carbon negative. Just saying.

What we learned here is that Amber @Ala0600 can do a 6hr @WikiHouse build without even breaking a sweat, and then give an impressively coherent interview at the end of it 😎

New @WikiHouse designs library includes this garden studio pattern, which you can build for yourself for around £18k-20k, and (in most cases) without needing planning or building regs approval.
Less hassle than building an extension. -Much- less hassle than moving house.

We added a designs library to the @WikiHouse website. wikihouse.cc/designs
At the moment it has just three designs in there. Would love to hear ideas for building types that we should add in future
One week to go...
We've been working behind the scenes on the #WikiHouse library of designs - a collection of of standard house designs using #Skylark blocks. Our first design in this series is the garden studio.
Launching next Thursday. All details ⬇️

We recently became part of the @WikiHouse network that help deliver #WikiHouse projects, and we've been chatting to them about their new #Skylark system for house building. Find out what it's all about in our latest blog 👉 bit.ly/49aIK1H

In the UK (where WikiHouse started) it makes absolute sense to use locally sourced, structural #OSB
If you haven't already, visit our block library - with info and files for 190 different #WikiHouse blocks, free for everyone to download and design with.

SterlingOSB Zero's shear strength leads to selection for @WikiHouse switch.
WikiHouse spoke to us about why they switched from imported plywood to our UK-produced, #carbonnegative SterlingOSB Zero: uk.westfraser.com/news/sterl… #mmc #offsite #construction
