Townhouse Eco-Retrofit incorporating ASHP, Solar PV and Battery Storage

forresterarchitects specialises in eco-retrofit townhouses that improve the energy performance, comfort and long-term usability of existing homes without losing their architectural character. Our approach is to consider the building as a whole, combining fabric-first improvements with appropriate low-energy systems such as air source heat pumps, solar PV and battery storage. With 25 years’ experience working with London period houses and townhouses, we look for practical ways to reduce energy demand while creating better homes.

The Air Source Heat Pump Townhouse in Hackney combines a full house refurbishment with an air source heat pump and alternative energy strategies, while the Mezzanine Refurbishment in Stoke Newington uses a significant internal reconfiguration to improve both the quality of the living space and the thermal performance of the house.
