About this event
This year the EAA Invites series will focus on good examples of sustainable design. The first event is a live virtual building visit to Ostro by Paper Igloo Architecture. Join our EAA president Jo McClelland by Zoom as she visits the recently completed Passivhaus project.
Paper Igloo was established in 2006 by Mhairi Grant and Martin McCrae who are developing a portfolio of good contemporary architecture that performs to high ecological standards including Passivhaus.
The passion and energy required to combine the aesthetic and technical requirements is demonstrated in their own house, Ostro. This self build project has been realised to the highest quality, and their hands on approach to construction has informed the construction and detail of future projects.
As well as delivering beautiful ecological buildings, Mhairi Grant is active in the promotion of ecological approaches to construction, working with SEDA, the RIAS SWG and ACAN within Scotland and across several thematic groups. Navigating between the practicalities, legislation and ethical considerations of why and what we should be building today, Paper Igloo have developed an ecologically progressive position within the Scottish Architectural debate.
Join Jo, Mhairi and Martin for a live virtual tour of their house followed by Q&A to find out more.
