Canopy Housing

Canopy Housing are an award-winning, self-help, community retrofit project.

We work with volunteers to retrofit empty homes to AECB Carbonlite Standards using natural, breathable materials such as woodfibre, hemp and lime. The healthy, energy-efficient homes we create are used to accommodate people in severe housing need, who become part of the volunteering team before they move in.

We won the World Habitat Award 2015/16 in partnership with Giroscope.
