Great to reflect on two dynamic days at our quarterly Consortium Meeting with @transforming-homes.bsky.social , held at Cardiff University. Day 1 was all about hands-on collaboration and charrette simulation. Day 2 focused on progress, alignment, and next steps. Thanks to all who made it inspiring!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Francisco Garcia (E6PR) and Shashank Nimkar (Earth Tatva) on how they are reinventing everyday products, turning industry byproducts into sustainable innovations. 🌍✨
Great to visit a home retrofitted as part of the #HAPS initiative. We did not only get to learn about the great work being delivered by the Centre for a Low Carbon Built Environment, Cardiff University, but got inspired as we move forward in the delivery of our #TransformingHomes demo homes.

The Welsh School of Architecture #designresearch team has been leading Spring #design #workshops for Transforming Homes. These sessions aim to translate the collective knowledge developed into a catalogue of design solutions to transform 1920s–40s council-built #homes into better places to live.
