"The adaption of C-Station to create Houlton School shows that it is possible to transform the energy use and carbon emissions of many listed buildings" Read the story of C-Station's transformation into Houlton School in current edition of @SPAB1877 #creativereuse #energyupgrade

Excellent article by @tlanebuilding in #BuildingMagazine telling the story of the metamorphosis of Houlton School from historic Rugby Radio Station to brand new learning environment #building #school #learning #environment #retrofit #listed #reuse

Thank you @LETI for such a clear, engaging launch of the #Retrofit Guide - a fantastic resource available for download on how to practically retrofit homes to hit net-zero. Looking forward to disseminating & discussing in our office sustainabili-teabreak this afternoon #climate

Last week our newest completed project at @HoultonSchool opened its doors. We are incredibly proud of our part in this complex and rewarding project for Urban & Civic, which included transforming the listed Radio Station Rugby building into part of a highly efficient school

We are excited to have been awarded a place on the Architect Design Services Framework @lhcprocurement @lbSouthwark. It was refreshing to experience a local govt. procurement process so focused on good design and we look forward to the chance to be part of their inspiring plans

Delighted that we have achieved Acclaim SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) accreditation through @constructline - demonstrating how we work hard to ensure our projects, processes & practice are safe & manage risk effectively #healthandsafety #ssip #accredited #riskmanagement

#wednesdaywisdom Let the light in! We love natural light; a happiness boosting, vitamin-rich resource & free! Designing sustainable buildings means harnessing as much natural resource as possible. Rooflights are a great way to do this
