Built light. Built to last.
Sustainability is not a feature we add to a Soleta home. It is the starting point of every decision — from the material we choose for insulation to the foundation system that avoids excavation.

Six principles
Carbon stored, not emitted
Timber is the only mainstream building material that stores carbon rather than emitting it during production. A Soleta home locks in approximately 30–40 tonnes of CO₂ for the lifetime of the building. Steel and concrete construction of equivalent size typically emits 80–120 tonnes of CO₂ in production alone.
97% organic materials
By mass, 97% of the materials in a Soleta home are of organic or natural origin — timber, wood fibre insulation, natural finishes, stone. No EPS, no mineral wool, no synthetic membranes. At the end of its life, a Soleta home can be almost entirely composted or recycled.
Minimum site disruption
Ground screw (KSF) foundations are installed without excavation — a single day's work that leaves the soil structure, drainage and root systems of the site entirely undisturbed. No concrete, no spoil removal, no permanent alteration of the ground.
Energy that pays back
The ZeroEnergy system is sized to produce at least as much energy as the home consumes over a full year. In practice, most ZeroEnergy Soleta homes export surplus energy to the grid — generating income rather than costs.
Built to last 80+ years
The most sustainable building is one that does not need to be replaced. Soleta homes are engineered for an 80-year lifespan minimum — with structural systems that can be repaired, extended or reconfigured rather than demolished.
Local craft, responsible sourcing
Our timber is sourced from certified European forests. Production is based in Central Europe — minimising transport distances to our project markets across the continent. We work with local craftspeople and regional material suppliers wherever possible.
