I C A M E H O M E T O A H O U S E

After two fun and adventurous weeks in Scotland, we came home to the surreal experience of finding the superstructure of our house complete. All the walls and roof had gone up while we were away, and for the first time we could walk through spaces that, until now, had only existed in my imagination.

It feels like a huge milestone in my quest to create a home that supports health, wellbeing and a deeper connection with nature.

Here’s the first proper tour of the interior spaces.

Over the coming months I’ll be sharing much more than the build itself—from why we chose Passivhaus and the design decisions behind each room, to healthy home principles, the rewilded landscape, and the systems that will make the house perform so well.

What would you like me to go into detail on first?💭

Earlier this week I spoke at a CPD event about healthy buildings, wellbeing design and the lessons I’ve learned through my professional experience, our home renovation and self-build journey (so far!).

One of the key messages I shared was that wellbeing isn’t something that can be added at the end of a project. It has to be considered from the beginning and carried through every decision that follows.

Wellbeing design can support the body, mind, our connection to nature, to place and to one another. When we create healthier buildings, we create environments that help people thrive, both now and into the future.

Thank you to , RIBA Yorkshire Region and Five Rise Construction and everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion afterwards. I really enjoyed the conversation.

We’re getting ready to say goodbye to this house 🤞🏻. When we moved here in 2021, it was always part of a bigger plan — to eventually build a new home on the site. It’s taken a while as life had other ideas along the way and this house saw us through challenging times. In the process, we completely transformed it — from cold and damp to warm, comfortable and full of life again. Now it’s ready for someone new. It comes with planning permission already in place, which opens up a lot of possibilities depending on what someone might like to create here. If you’re interested — or know someone who might be — feel free to get in touch! Link to Rightmove is in my bio 🏡.
