Solent Architecture is an award-winning architectural practice specialising in sustainable design, with a strong focus on home retrofit. Based on the south coast of England, we help homeowners unlock the full potential of their properties by cutting carbon, improving comfort, and future-proofing homes through thoughtful, high-quality design. We work closely with clients to develop bespoke retrofit strategies that address energy efficiency, ventilation, moisture management, and aesthetics. Our approach is rooted in architectural rigour and a deep understanding of building performance, ensuring that every intervention whether internal insulation, air-tightness improvements, or whole-house upgrades is both effective and carefully integrated. From listed buildings to post-war housing, Solent Architecture brings practical retrofit solutions to a wide range of homes. We guide clients through each step of the process, from initial assessment and planning through to technical detailing and on-site support, aligning environmental ambition with real-world constraints. We believe great retrofit design is key to tackling the climate crisis and to create homes that are healthier, more resilient, and a pleasure to live in.
