ABOUT US

enbee architecture + design is an architectural practice located in Herne Hill, South East London.

OUR VISION

To build responsibly for people and planet.

Designed for you, built fit for the future.

 

We retrofit and build with natural materials to:

- lower your energy consumption by 60-95%,

- improve your quality of life and well-being,

- give you greatly improved indoor air quality,

- for positive environmental impact.

At enbee, design and performance are equally important – reducing energy consumption and increasing comfort levels through the responsible application of low-energy retrofit measures. These are tackled through a fabric-first approach: insulating ground floors, external walls and roofs; reducing heat loss through windows; sealing up air gaps and controlling the ventilation; installing the latest energy-efficient heating system and controls; and the application of renewables e.g. solar panels, solar water heaters etc. All this is combined with reusing existing materials and using low-carbon building materials where possible. With these principles in mind we tackle the build-ups of materials so that what lies beneath your beautiful finish is as good as what you see in your refurbished rooms.

 

enbee architecture + design was set up by Natalie Black in 2014. She gained experience working in a number of design-led architectural offices including AEM, Reading and West Architects, and Allies and Morrison Architects. While living in Jamaica for a few years between 2005-2007, Natalie set up enbee design, a furniture design company, which used local materials to produce hand made furniture on the island.
