We want to welcome everyone to our first blog, and to look back at some of the round wood timber framed buildings that Ty Pren has produced in the past year. Ty Pren (pronounced Tee-Pren, usually with a little ‘hat’ over the ‘y’) -meaning Wooden House in Welsh- is a worker co-operative dedicated to affordable, durable, sustainable and low impact building. Whatever ideas you have, we can help to facilitate them. Email us for a free 20 minute Skype consultation.
