Oliver Heath’s Home

Award winning deep eco retrofit of a 1960s detached family home in Brighton
‍

The refurbishment saw the carbon footprint reduced by 77% - from 10.9 tonnes per year down to 2.5 tonnes. It won the BIID eco refurbishment award in 2013. The aspiration was to create a home fit for the future, one that would be resilient, low energy, healthy, connected and a showcase for others to learn from.
