We’re fixing the Climate Emergency & Housing Crisis, using bio-based materials to build safe, civil, lowcarbon, affordable homes for people in housing need. Our work is preFABulous!

Carbon & Social Value Trading.
What’s that?
An affordable home has become the oxymoron of our time!
It’s time to think differently about how we deliver properly affordable homes.
At Agile Homes we’ve created a new finance flow we call CSVTs.

Brilliant representation by Giaimo of the embodied carbon wasted in the demolition of perfectly good buildings in Toronto to build bigger buildings. A thousand houses worth of carbon. @azuremagazine.bsky.social #human/nature

It was a pleasure to talk housing innovation with Ellen Grist of the Housing Festival & Lucy Wood of @agilehomes.bsky.social at UWE School of Architecture.
Bristol is an innovation hotspot!
We talked about homes not ‘units’, ending homelessness, community-led housing & Carbon & Social Value Trading.

We have just submitted a planning application for 14 new homes & Common House for Halton Senior CoHousing group, but this one is a little different!
We call these homes Tam, and they can move!

At our CLiCs Centre the Sylva Foundation are our near neighbours.
We share a passion for wood, how & where it grows, & what we make from it.
The homes we make & all the things that make a home, are made from wood!
Low-carbon affordable homes for people in housing need.
For people & planet!

Rare groove housing!
What's that?
Here's a taster!
In a world where an affordable home is the oxymoron of our time, it's time to get radical.
People are you ready?
It’s time to get on the bus! 🚌

In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world.
4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment
In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

It’s hot! 🥵
Living in a straw bale home in this weather would be crazy, right?
Wrong!
Straw changes its moisture content in sync with its environment.
As it does this, there is heat exchange at a cellular level within the fabric of the straw itself!
It keeps you cool in summer & warm in winter!

Schumacher said ‘Small is Beautiful - economics as if people mattered’
At Agile we agree but with a subtle difference! Instead we say:
Small is Beautiful - housing as if people & nature mattered!
And it turns out others agree!

The UK Enterprise Investment Scheme gives investors tax relief, no Capital Gains on exit & is Inheritance Tax free!
It is great for the investor, but more importantly, it supports innovative start-ups!
As we turn six, it has given us the rocket fuel to deliver low-carbon affordable homes quickly!

With perfect timing on the same day Rachel Reeves announced £39 bn for new homes, we signed an agreement for a significant investment. I’d like to say we planned this with the Chancellor, but I can’t! Instead it’s a synchronicity win!
The investment comes with a £25 m fund to pay to build new homes!

Gulp!
Some symmetry here to the power of 10!
Agile has been on @bsky.app for 10 months!
Made 100 posts.
Followed a 1,000 people.
Gained 1,000 followers!
Either completely random or something’s at work!
Trouble is the next target would appear to be 10,000 followers!

Our name is Agile Homes & here’s why!
This is 1 home, but in 2 different locations. We recently moved it from Bristol, where it was part of the We Can Make Homes project. It’s now near Gloucester & is a permanent home for a young man in need of specialised supported living.

We love this new system for building affordable homes! Watch this space for more!
At @agilehomes.bsky.social we love a bit of Grand Designs!
We have developed a new kind of timber board made entirely from UK grown timber & combined it with some monocoque engineering!
Simpler spans, less material, less weight, lower carbon & lower cost!
