Sustainable homes: design and build without the battle | SHD26 Workshops

Building or renovating sustainably can often feel like preparing for battle in an industry where sustainability is not every professional's priority, or where the common response can be, "It'll just be more expensive." 

Learn how you, as a client and homeowner, can set yourself up as active collaborators, pull together an aligned team and avoid feeling like you have to battle every step of the way to make your sustainable home a reality.

Presented by Amelia Lee, the architect behind Undercover Architect, you'll also meet homeowners from her HOME Method program who have created their own sustainable projects, and will share their key insights and project tips.
