TESTIMONIALS

Muswell Hill Low-Carbon House, N10

We were lucky to be introduced to Natalie Black of Enbee Architecture and Design, a specialist with expertise in low-energy retrofitting - a phrase we’d not heard before speaking with her. It was clear from the first call that Natalie understood what we were looking for and could pull together all the aspects of the project. We spoke for nearly an hour about things like lime plaster, cold bridges, airtightness and heat pumps.

We are extremely happy with our loft conversion designed by Natalie Black of Enbee Architecture and Design. We are so impressed by how well insulated it is, in the freezing weather this winter, there was not much need to put the heating on as it was so warm and cosy, even first thing in the morning."

"Thanks to enbee for helping us to see the potential for our home. They were able to make brilliant suggestions for space and storage solutions that we would never have thought of. They are friendly and approachable, and we'd recommend enbee for anyone thinking about extending their home."

 Throughout the process, Natalie provided us with excellent design suggestions and build advice, and she continues with a supportive role beyond the completion of the work. Her expertise was invaluable when it came to seeing the full potential of our house, including design ideas that saved us space and money. We would fully recommend Natalie’s services to anyone who wants a thoughtful and friendly expert to help them get the most from their home.

“I have really enjoyed working with Natalie on a project to make my Dulwich house a lifetime home. She is particularly good at sourcing materials and design solutions that ensure that the changes to the house not only work for me but for the wider environment too.“

"We’ve managed to survive a challenging time for any family, but we’ve come through unscathed thanks to the support from enbee. Natalie has practically become a member of the family and we’ll miss her time and support when it’s all ended. We can’t have imagined getting such a good service and have been proud to recommend enbee to everyone we’ve spoken to."

"We tested out the complexity of whole-house retrofit at our own home to directly assess the impact and the difference the measures have made to us. 154m2 floor area and a modest budget of a little under £2000/m2. We used wood fibre insulation, lime plasters, and triple glazing all to enhance the existing fabric together with new efficient boiler and controls minimising the energy use of the building. We complemented this by using low VOC materials such as lime paints, natural fibre carpets, a natural hard-wax oil for the floors and reused materials where possible. In the end, we have reduced our bills by around 70%."
