🌿 Dorset Retrofit Reimagined: Natural Materials for Local Homes 🌿

Could Dorset’s natural resources hold the key to healthier, low-carbon homes? In this webinar, we explore how retrofitting can be supported by locally sourced materials—helping to reconnect people with place while building homes that are better for the planet.

Speakers Stephanie Crombie and Tom Graham delve into:

The benefits of using natural materials like hemp, clay, lime, and timber in retrofit
The difference between building with “materials” vs. “products”—and why it matters
Opportunities and challenges in sourcing local materials in Dorset
How a Retrofit One-Stop Shop could help scale up natural, place-based construction

Who is this for?
Architects, builders, self-builders, and anyone curious about how natural materials can support a greener housing future rooted in Dorset’s landscapes.
