Sheeps fleece insulation. Moss Sedum Roof. Photovoltaics- Those are some of the options available for the stunningly beautiful Retreat Home. The standard package isn't too bad either- FSC lumber, wood framed windows, careful design to maximize sunlight and ventilation. They are designed under the UK rules for "holiday caravans" so they are on a frame and can be towed anywhere. Congratulations to architects Buckley Gray Yeoman and Retreat Homes for "standing the usual caravan park on its head" ::Retreat Homes via ::inhabitat
