Constructing in such beautiful natural settings demands care and sensitivity. Spending time to thoroughly assess the nature of the land is crucial, and it can take many days as the project unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to sense the scale of the environment while considering the size of the operation, as it must be tailored to us for sustainable long-term work. We carefully removed only the trees that were necessary to place the houses. These trees were processed at a local sawmill and used as lumber for the boardwalks in the area.<\/p>\n<p>All buildings are constructed with a timber frame, and 75% feature solid timber walls, which are environmentally optimal here. Wood sequesters 1 ton of CO2 per cubic meter, significantly contributing to environmental sustainability while also creating a workplace just 500 meters from the residences. The primary insulation materials are cellulose, an organic insulation from recycled paper, and rock wool in certain floor joists. Operating this business with the smallest possible ecological footprint while leaving a positive legacy is incredibly rewarding. These houses are built to last 100-200 years with proper maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m6g8ty9t-12274ed6718141e00dcbff5e0828e4e4\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-m6g8ty9t-12274ed6718141e00dcbff5e0828e4e4{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-m6g8ty9t-12274ed6718141e00dcbff5e0828e4e4 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m6g8n5q3-9572b46747f6d99028da0e5ab0a0d151 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Enviroment: Energy, waste &amp; water<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1937 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1030x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><strong>Energy Consumption:<\/strong> We are in the process of replacing our heating sources with modern air source heat pumps, with 35% of the project complete and expected to finish by 2025.

Constructing in such beautiful natural settings demands care and sensitivity. Spending time to thoroughly assess the nature of the land is crucial, and it can take many days as the project unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to sense the scale of the environment while considering the size of the operation, as it must be tailored to us for sustainable long-term work. We carefully removed only the trees that were necessary to place the houses. These trees were processed at a local sawmill and used as lumber for the boardwalks in the area.<\/p>\n<p>All buildings are constructed with a timber frame, and 75% feature solid timber walls, which are environmentally optimal here. Wood sequesters 1 ton of CO2 per cubic meter, significantly contributing to environmental sustainability while also creating a workplace just 500 meters from the residences. The primary insulation materials are cellulose, an organic insulation from recycled paper, and rock wool in certain floor joists. Operating this business with the smallest possible ecological footprint while leaving a positive legacy is incredibly rewarding. These houses are built to last 100-200 years with proper maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-fw2eb4-c88e4060d456a76c0047137aa8a81302\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-fw2eb4-c88e4060d456a76c0047137aa8a81302{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-fw2eb4-c88e4060d456a76c0047137aa8a81302 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-el9aq8-68ec370e6569124d3d610f5eb0938e90 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Enviroment: Energy, waste &amp; water<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1937 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1030x773.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.maven.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_4934.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><strong>Energy Consumption:<\/strong> We are in the process of replacing our heating sources with modern air source heat pumps, with 35% of the project complete and expected to finish by 2025.
