Sustainable Renovation in Brighton, Sussex

Exciting sustainable refurbishment in Central Brighton. Behind the front elevation and pitched roof the property is being substantially replaced with a tripling of the basement area and a full width rear extension on the ground floor.

High levels of insulation and attention to cold bridging in conjunction with airtight construction will mean a robust building fabric and low utility bills. A whole house ventilation system with heat recovery will provide a comfortable indoor environment and further reduce energy loss. A simple gas boiler with wood burning stove was selected over the contentious ground source heat pump and biomass boiler, and solar panels will provide hot water and electricity.

Luxuries include a wall of glass onto the garden, a steam room in the basement and hot tub in the garden!
