Village & Community Halls : A Net Zero Design Guide
Together with ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) we have produced design guidance to inform and inspire village hall committees to make their buildings energy efficient as part of their journey to Net Zero carbon. The guidance was launched in March 2024 and the images below provide a summary of what it covers.

“Ben researched and wrote a Net Zero Design Guide for Village Halls on our behalf. His dedication to the project and the expertise he brought to the table was second to none. It would not have been possible to produce such a comprehensive and well-informed resource without his support. We would highly recommend Ben to colleagues in the community and voluntary sector.”
Richard Quallington, Executive Director, ACRE
We are keen to help village halls where we can but need to be mindful of travel. We believe in sourcing close to home as this is in the spirit of the guidance, using local knowledge, and strengthening community. Village Hall committees will therefore usually be best served by an architect who lives and works not too far from them, who can call in regularly and who knows the area. We are however currently developing a way to provide strategic assistance in order to help village halls remotely, particularly at the start of their journey, and so if you would like to get in touch please complete the form below. We are only a small company so will need to charge a fee for our work, but will always keep this reasonable and agree it with you beforehand.
