It’s probably quite easy to heat. You don’t have to get five tons of concrete up to temperature to get the room cozy.

weird science. you dont hve to heat the concrete, its about insulation. and concrete would contain the heat a lot better than some wooden slats.
Atticus
Yep. The only reason you would need to get the concrete up to heat is if the heating medium was in the concrete (like underfloor heating).
Niallo
Concrete is solid, solids are poor insulators.
This is made from 70mm planed timber “slats”, wood is full of holes and as such is an excellent insulator, you will observe the inhabitants of scandinavia and the northern part of the american continent do not live in concrete bungalows, they live in these.
Very easy to heat in winter, stays cool in the summer and surprisingly heavy (handy if storm ohmagawd shows up)

What about rain tho
Wouldn’t wood absorb moisture

this reminds me of a dylan moran joke durin the boom years, where he says you’re lucky if u can get a treehouse in galway for 350k, as an easy commute to work in dublin. 190k is ridic for this. good thing the government have implemented… oh no, wait

I know that this isn’t what Clodagh was driving at, but that looks class, I’d love a tiny wee house like that.
Dόn Pídgéόní
Same! It’s very cute, and as your ma might say, easy to heat in the winter!
george
No way to tell how insulated it is from the photos.
Rob_G
True; it would be more the lack of storage I would be worried about, though.
Liam
It doesn’t appear to be insulated at all – the inside walls are the same slats that are on the outside. No bank would lend you money for this either.
JogOn
That looks really nice. €190K is, of course, excessive.
Disasta
I wonder are you living in someones back garden…
The Old Boy
Not personally, no.
Bertie Blenkinsop
I’d like that.
As my shed.
B Bop
This Indeeds.
Mr. P.
It is in a small static caravan park, not a bad area, mostly retirees.

So which one of those couches is the bed?
The Old Boy
Whichever one the occupier passes out on in an alcoholic haze, I suppose.
Dόn Pídgéόní
The one in the bedroom?
Janet, I ate my avatar
It’s a shed.

Mind you a lick of paint outside

I know what you mean… I’ve seen this style of finish in Scandinavia where the weathered timber forms a self-sealing layer, doesn’t need regular petrochemical re-treatment or painting and visually harmonises with stands of birch and pine trees. It looks incongruous here.
Timber houses are generally frowned upon by planning authorities, apparently (Timber-frame houses will have an outer shell of concrete or brick.)

That’s Horrible.
No matter how bad our housing shortage is, nobody should have have to live in Bray…

People see a seemingly well kitted-out and finished wooden house in Alaska – no one bats an eyelid.

Now that’s what I call modular
It’s lovely, but I’d be concerned when ‘Storm BigBadWolf’ arrives in Bray.
What about that apparent gnome problem…. I’m out!
class. wonder is it warm?
