Two White Design projects have been named by Professor Tom Woolley in his list of the ten best natural building projects in the UK, in the January 2010 issue of Sustain magazine (Volume 10, issue 06).

Professor Woolley, an architect, envoronmental researcher and author of The Green Building Handbook, selected the Balehaus at Bath University as the most innovative example of low-impact construction methods. The Balehaus is designed by White Design as part of a Technology Strategy Board funded research project to develop prefabricated strawbale housing for the mainstream housing market.

Also making it into Professor Woolley's top 10 is White Design's new £6M home for Dartington CE Primary School in Devon. Building on the strong environmental ethos shared by client Devon County Council, we specified timber for 90% of the building fabric, using mostly locally-sourced Sweet Chestnut which will weather naturally with time.
