In 2016, PYC Group started planning the most ambitious project they’d done; a new offsite manufacturing facility and Passivhaus (designed) offices in Welshpool, Wales. Two years later, The House Building Factory and offices are fully operational. The main design challenges for the offices were heating


methods and overheating risks. The timber frame structure is heavily insulated with Warmcel, so the decrement delay is as good as it gets, and with Welsh temperatures rising to 32 averages 25 C, downstairs 22 C; not too bad at all.
