Groundbreaking in the New Forest

We celebrate the groundbreaking at the Courtyard House, a new build contemporary home located in Burley in the heart of the New Forest.

Due to issues around retrofitting the previous property, as it was so poorly constructed and not at all energy efficient, it was decided to replace the building with a modern home designed around a series of courtyards – full project details here.

The term ‘future proofing’ is often used when describing the design of a house, or adaptations that have been made to a property, but do you know what it really means and who it intends to benefit?

In a recent article we answer some FAQ’s and explain why future proofing your home is important and apprropriate for everyone, read them here.
