Torbreck Sustainable Buildings

TSB is a collborative venture between Loch Ness based John Martin and 2 European craftsmen from the Zimmerman tradition.

Originally conceived during the construction of my first build, Stone End, Inverness's 1st sustainable house, we later combined to design and build a prototype affordable home.

Moving forward from the success of this project, we have designed and constructed an ecological version of the ubiquitous static caravan.

We are now looking for commissions to design and build, within our guiding principles of affordability, sustainability and durability, any type of building, - homes, chalets, offices and workshops.

Our philosophy drives us to create buildings that are low in capital and revenue costs, in both financial and carbon terms.

Feel free to contact us for down to earth, practical advice and guidance for your current or future project.



A sustainable building needn't cost the earth.
