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

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!

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!

Neighbouring!
Neighbour is a verb, neighbour is a doing word.
Fabulous insights from Savannah Fishel on what she learnt from her Churchill Fellowship intergenerational exploration of Australia & the USA.

Robin Livingstone shared how council housing was transformative for his family, how his parents helped community evolution.
Rachel’s £39bn should make space for new models that match the experience his parents thrived on. @agilehomes.bsky.social

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!

Access to a safe, civil, low carbon, affordable home is not a lot to ask for, but the housing crisis has cut off supply!
So it's time to get radical, because doing what we always did, will only get us what we always got.

60% of the homes we need in the 21st century already exist & nearly all of them will need to be retrofitted!
Why not Retrofit for the Future at the Radical Housing Conference?!

Just arrived on BlueSky, from @tweeteco on TwitterX.
CEO of @agilehomes.bsky.social.
Agile designs, makes and delivers low-carbon affordable homes for people in housing need, using #MMC & renewable materials.
Below, some of our work.
👇
Emmaus Bristol charity. This image shows a pair of Agile EcoPods on a quiet street under a bright, clear sky. The EcoPods combines light vertical wood cladding that contrasts with the exposition red brick building behind. Part of the structure features an elevated wooden deck with a railing, supported by stilts, which form a balcony. The stilts means that the Ecopods are able to sit astride an existing brick wall. A tree grows through an opening on the deck, adding a natural element to the architecture. The area surrounding the building has some graffiti on the walls, hinting at an urban setting. Trees and greenery add contrast to the industrial feel of the scene. The Earth Trust’s Earth Lab project in Little Wittenham, Oxfordshire. This image shows the Earth Trust’s Earth Lab, a unique eco-friendly building set against a serene backdrop under a cloudy, softly lit sky. The building features a green roof, which is covered with soil, grass, and small plants, blending it seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The structure incorporates natural wood cladding and large windows, allowing for natural light and connecting the indoor space with the outdoors. In front of the building, there’s a landscaped area with a shallow pond lined with rocks and vegetation, enhancing the natural aesthetic and providing a habitat for local wildlife. The combination of sustainable design elements, like the living roof and water feature, emphasizes the Earth Lab’s commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable practices. The architectural style feels organic and harmonious with nature, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere for visitors. The Earth Lab is a sustainable education and research center focused on environmental learning and conservation. Set within the beautiful countryside, Earth Lab serves as a hub for community engagement, promoting hands-on learning experiences related to nature, sustainability, and climate action. Designed with eco-friendly building practices, it incorporates sustainable materials, renewable energy sources, and innovative technologies to reduce its ecological footprint. The Earth Lab offers a range of activities, workshops, and educational programs for visitors of all ages, helping people connect with nature and gain practical skills in environmental stewardship. The project underscores Earth Trust’s commitment to inspiring positive change and equipping communities to address the environmental challenges of today. The image shows the VELUX office building in Kettering, an impressive structure with a modern, angular design. The building features extensive use of wood in its construction, giving it a warm, natural aesthetic. The roof has a distinctive shape, curving upwards in an elegant arc that adds a dynamic architectural element. Large windows allow for ample natural light, which aligns with VELUX’s focus on daylight solutions. External metal staircases run along the building’s side, providing both functional and design aspects. Summary of VELUX Roof Windows: VELUX roof windows, often referred to as roof lights or skylights, are designed to bring natural light and ventilation into buildings through sloped roofs. They are engineered to withstand various roof loads, including snow and wind, ensuring durability and safety. VELUX windows often incorporate features like thermal insulation, UV protection, and easy-to-operate ventilation systems. Some models include solar or electric-powered options, enhancing energy efficiency and providing added convenience. These windows are widely used in both residential and commercial projects to create bright, energy-efficient spaces with a strong connection to the outdoors. This is Tam, one of Agile Homes’ housing types. Tam is moveable. The picture shows two Thames in different locations, modern interior and a set of plans for a 37 m² one person one bedroom home.
