Future homes – delivering new housing, retrofit and performance at scale

27/05/2026

About

Join us on 27 May at 10:00 to explore how the UK housing sector is responding to tightening regulation, growing demand and the urgent need to decarbonise – from delivering new homes at scale, to upgrading existing stock and improving long-term performance.

As the industry prepares for the introduction of the Future Homes Standard, alongside renewed focus on new towns and large-scale housing delivery, the challenge is no longer just about building more homes, but building better ones. At the same time, the vast majority of existing housing will still be in use for decades to come, placing retrofit and performance upgrades firmly at the centre of the conversation.

Join our upcoming AT Webinar, Future homes – delivering new housing, retrofit and performance at scale, in partnership with VELUX, to hear presentations addressing the key questions emerging across practice:

  • How will the Future Homes Standard reshape housing design, specification and delivery?

  • What role can new towns and large-scale developments play in meeting housing demand while supporting sustainability goals?

  • How can retrofit strategies be scaled effectively to improve the performance of existing homes?

  • What design approaches can balance energy efficiency, occupant health and long-term value?

  • How can collaboration between developers, architects and manufacturers accelerate innovation in housing delivery?

Bringing together leading voices from across architecture and development – including Jay Morton, Paul Silver and Harrison Symonds – this webinar will examine how the sector can move from ambition to delivery, and what that means for the future of housing in the UK.

Speakers:

- Jay Morton, Bell Phillips
- Paul Silver, CEO, Dorchester Living
- Harrison Symonds, Proctor and Matthews
- Richard Williams, Velux
- Neil Deely, Metropolitan Workshop
