49% of UK carbon emissions are attributed to buildings. Heating and powering our homes and workplaces is contributing to climate change. Many typical building materials are damaging to our health and the environment.
Tonn Architecture is committed to using natural low-carbon materials to make healthy, well-designed and beautiful buildings.
