29000 ft2 (gfa) of timber framed, closed panel housing was factory designed and fabricated in Germany by Streif Sustainable Building Systems, and imported by road and ferry over a 6 week period to be erected by German carpenters. The buildings were delivered with windows and external doors fitted, and pitched roofs felted and battened.
