Retrofit architecture

When we talk about retrofit in architecture, what we mean is the process of modifying or adding new features to existing buildings, to improve energy efficiency.

This could be adding insulation to the loft, floors or walls to create a more stable temperature in your house, or installing green technologies – like an air source heat pump or mechanical ventilation with heat recovery unity (MVHR).

Retrofitting your home will not only make it more effiicient: higher performance, better insulated, warmer, quieter, but will also bring you greater comfort and wellbeing.

Using an experienced professional to advise you on your retrofit architecture will ensure that your home has the right balance of airtightness and ventilation, reducing the risk of damp mould and condensation in your home.

Whether you are thinking of small modifications as part of a renovation, or a deep retrofit, here are some retrofit architecture stories to help you understand more and to inspire you.
