New Beginnings: Appointing an Architect When Moving Home

We are often approached by individuals who are in the process of moving home and are seeking to make improvements to their new property. This can make sense for a number of reasons - it may be that the house is a 'fixer-upper' in urgent need of modernisation, it might that it's be easier to get the building work done before moving in, or it may simply be that the individual is excited to make their mark and make it feel like home.

Airtightness in detail

Airtightness is absolutely key to energy efficient buildings! We've written a little about the principals before, but we thought we should go a little deeper as it's such an important factor in our design work.

The Importance of Retrofit

Did you know that there are over 27 million homes in the UK that need retrofitting? In order to meet the government's commitment of net zero by 2050 that's 2466 homes per day, or 1.8 homes every minute!

It's a formidable task, and here at Barefoot we are doing everything we can to get involved.
