I provide details of recent developments on StratfordRoad Sparkhill involving the refurbishment of a previous flooring outlet. The site has been revamped to provide offices and a restaurant with considerable internal work and new cladding to the outside. The roof has been completely covered with photovoltaic arrays. Landmark building: to be converted into modern offices and flats - part of ongoing programme of flat conversions in equally famous landmark buildings around Birmingham.

Revisit to this alteration pre-Christmas this is heated by air source heat pumps in concert with large areas of southerly glazing which help keep it cosy in winter when the sun is at a low altitude in the sky. Notice the large overhangs to stop it over- heating in the summer
Recent revisit to this self build timber framed extension https://t.co/B9hwQo7DQH
The enclosed photos show how a fully glazed southerly facade can be used to its maximum advantage. These pictures were taken at mid-day in mid-winter. Notice how the light stream into the upstairs bedroom and rear recreational spaces below. Very little heating is needed even at this time of yer.
Had the opportunity to revisit one of our projects near Droitwich in order to get feed back and see how the project has developed. Real treat just before Christmas
