💡 The Challenge
This property represented a common type in the UK housing stock — solid wall, single-glazed, and poorly insulated. The homeowners goal was to trial fabric-first retrofit measures and climate resilience - flooding and damp solutions, while ensuring the process was cost effective and visually unobtrusive.

- Detailed documentary-style film profiling the home, process, and solutions
