Head Heart Hand House Home

For this highly crafted residential transformation, we delivered the MEP and environmental design strategy that underpins the project’s healthy, low-energy performance. Working closely with the architect and client team, our focus was to create a building services approach that quietly supports comfort, wellbeing and long-term resilience.

The MVHR system provides continuous fresh air with high-grade filtration capable of removing central London gaseous pollutants as well as particulate, improving indoor air quality and helping establish the calm, clean environment central to the project’s ethos. Low-temperature heating, delivered via an air-source heat pump, significantly reduces energy demand and ensures compliance with Part L – a particular challenge given the ambition to maximise glazing and daylight throughout the home.

Our integrated approach balances architectural intent with environmental responsibility: efficient, quiet systems; low operational energy; and a services strategy that remains unobtrusive to the crafted materiality of the space. The result is a home that not only feels good to live in, but performs well — healthy, comfortable and future-ready.

The project has been recognised within the wider architectural community, being featured twice in RIBA publications. These articles highlighted the clarity of the design concept, the integration of environmental performance with crafted architecture, and the project’s contribution to contemporary conversations around healthy, future-ready homes. The repeated RIBA coverage underscores the project’s influence and the value of its collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.
