ECO My Home

Manning Holden Architects can offer sustainable design solutions which not only improve the energy performance of buildings by up to 80% but can also transform tired homes into desirable, energy efficient buildings. In reducing the cost of energy, designing a home for the future requires a fundamental understanding of new materials, new technologies and modern design principles.

Our commitment to modern, sustainable design and passion for the environment has led to our involvement in a wide variety of buildings, ranging from code 6 social housing, BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ luxury apartments, Retrofit for the future schemes, Eco- Churches, City Farms, Conservation projects and Schools.

We can apply our principles to both traditional and modern style homes and buildings and will ensure that you are advised on all aspects of energy performance. We can also guide you on your choice of recycled materials should this be something you wish to consider.
