“After all, the Greenest House is the one that’s already there.”
The UK is grappling with multiple housing crises: a lack of adequate, affordable homes, inefficient land use, the climate emergency, and layouts that haven’t changed in over 130 years. Attempts to rectify these problems often lead to senseless demolition, community displacement, carbon emissions, and maximum profit extraction.
Anders Strand Luhr from Office Ten will present how ‘The Greenest House’ aims to break this cycle. With 80% of 2050’s buildings already in place, our model demonstrates that preserving and renewing existing housing stock isn’t just possible; it’s urgent. By working with what we already have, we can generate social, economic, and environmental benefits for everyone.
Office Ten Architecture was invited by European Cultural Center Italy to participate in their exhibition TIME SPACE EXISTENCE at this year’s Venice Biennale. Office Ten is a London-based architecture practice dedicated to the quiet power of preservation and renewal. We give new life to existing spaces by tackling complex challenges across architecture and beyond.
