Retrofit and Extension

Every household is different. We’ll work with you to analyse what it is about your home that stops it from working well, what are the good bits that you like best. Our concept designs will have your household’s needs as the central focus and will be an honest appraisal of what we think you can achieve.

We’re passionate advocates for the creative reuse and adaption of existing buildings, not least because of the carbon implications of demolishing and starting again. Our clients are often surprised by how much the energy performance of their existing building can be improved by some fairly simple fixes – we use Passivhaus software to help us to find the best solution.

Sometimes our clients love where they live, but their house is no longer fit for purpose, perhaps because of a growing family or poor accessibility. Again, we’re firm believers that creative spatial tweaks can unlock and improve an existing building, and we love the problem-solving process.
