This interactive workshop aims to bridge the experiences and views of participants from diverse backgrounds and expertise about home retrofit.

Paul Mallion, an expert in retrofitting residential projects, will lead the session where we will explore together possibilities and challenges limiting the retrofit of flats and houses-built post 1950s.

  • Learn about technicalities and DIY ideas for home retrofitting;  
  • Network with stakeholders who share interest in retrofitting houses and homes-built post 1950s.  
  • Engage in a participatory activity to test energy efficiency and feasibility of retrofitting ideas for this case. 

By attending this session, you will understand the possibilities and challenges associated with retrofitting this home type in relationship to the contemporary context. You will also learn about specifics related to retrofitting a home that belongs to post 1950s housing. This session will be helpful for homeowners, designers and decision-makers engaged in the planning and design of home retrofit projects.
