With increasing interest in the relative
capital and life-cycle costs (including
energy costs) of existing and new
homes, housing providers are looking
for innovative ways to improve
the performance and popularity of
existing housing stock.
PTEa has extensive experience of
upgrading existing homes: street
houses, pre-war mansion blocks
and post-war estates. Interventions
range from low-cost improvements
to energy performance, security
and open space through to radical
transformation and extension. Most
projects involve engagement with
existing communities, and many
have included working around
residents in occupation.
