Yr Ogof Ddyn

Yr Ogof Ddyn – Welsh for the Man Cave

This small house has become a local attraction in Wilby, built using clay, straw, sand and water. Keen to reduce any impact on the environment the owners wanted to use locally sourced materials with little impact on their surroundings.

Designed using passive solar orientation to maximise air flow and thermal mass. Double glazed windows with thermal break in frames to reduce temperature loss or gain.

Off-grid solar electricity with the house 12v wired.

Composting toilet and rainwater collection are used to reduce their water waste. No reticulated water supply.
