ELECTRICITY SUBSTATION NOW A CARBON NEUTRAL FAMILY HOME

Trevolt had been derelict since the 1960s Claypaint White Clay in Trevolt ' s kitchen
Located on the moorland of Cornwall , a 12-metre tall stone building , originally an electricity substation , had been abandoned since the 1960s . Damp had taken its toll and the building had fallen into a state of disrepair . Cornish couple , Abi and Morveth , decided to take on the colossal renovation challenge .
Being surrounded by nature inspired many of their decisions on the renovation , including the choice of environmentally friendly and breathable Claypaint throughout the property .
Inside , the walls are lime plastered so it was important to use a paint that wouldn ’ t block the breathability of the render . Earthborn Claypaint is a highly breathable emulsion that allows buildings to breathe by releasing moisture into the atmosphere , reducing damp and condensation .
The couple used Claypaint in light neutral hues Feather Pillow and Tom ’ s Bakery , making the most of the natural light that pours into the building through large windows . In the kitchen , White Clay complements both the natural rustic aesthetic of the decor and exposed brickwork . The colours create a warm and cosy feeling and the finished masterpiece is a carbon neutral 3-bedroom property .
