Thatching - Walls

Master Thatchers LTD

This house is situated in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. It was designed by Homa Farjadi and Sima Farjadi, they were creating a house which used materials sympathetic to the local environment but also challenged conventional design methods. The master thatchers were employed to thatch this house, and were very impressed with the result.
The thatched walls give the house a warm, tactile look as well as being eco-friendly due to the excellent insulation and protection they provide from the rain. The walls took 4500 bundles of water reed.
