Recent Projects:
Eco-renovation of Victorian end of terrace in Central Brighton:
Our client needed a new kitchen along with other minor building alterations and thought it could be an opportunity to add a solar panel to the plumbing. We have provided our home energy report and now we are developing the package of measures she has decided upon to achieve significant energy savings alongside the general improvements.
New Build house in Coldean with a view to a Code for Sustainable Homes 5 Star rating:
Our client gave us a brief to build a small affordable family home which would not demand technical knowledge and dedication to achieve a low-energy lifestyle ie, living in this house you can do what comes naturally: open a window, light a fire, close a door...make yourself comfortable. We're working on it ... we now have Planning Approval and the technology is coming together. We expect to break ground with this project this summer, and are the registered code assessor for the project.
Recently completed bathroom renovation in Central Brighton:
In consultation many ideas were discussed about what these clients want for their new home: slim-line double glazing in their existing sash window frames, solar PV, a wood fired stove, renewing the roof in the roof, but topping the list of this was to upgrade their bathroom that was dated, extremely cold and damp. Super thin insulation high performance insulation was used in the walls to save space, cork floors, natural paints, low water use appliances and a re-used sink, all add to the eco-credentials of this renovation - but most improtantly the family now have a bathroom they love.
