We develop places that tackle the housing, climate and loneliness crisis through the art and science of modern place making.
We design, deliver and operate places that have a positive impact on the wellbeing of residents, on the economy of surrounding neighbourhoods, and on the environment both locally and globally. Modular designs combined with sustainable materials in our integrated supply chain enable fast factory production and on-site installation of quality homes targeting net zero carbon in construction and operation.
Quality homes through efficient modular construction at scale.
Net zero carbon through integrated renewable energy systems.
Shared spaces and curated experiences that bring people together.
Offsite precision manufacturing. Kit-of-parts for speed, quality and low carbon.
Smart on-site energy for shared savings and net zero carbon operation.
Getting from A to B with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Engaging green spaces that draw people together and support biodiversity.
Technology that simplifies operations via the PositivePlaces App.
Social spaces, curated events, local partnerships — warm neighbourly living.

Offsite precision manufacturing - our kit-of-parts approach delivers speed, quality control and low embodied carbon.
Our kit-of-parts approach separates production from construction - quality control, speed and reduced waste.
Fully fitted shower rooms and kitchens produced in the factory and craned into position - ready to connect.
High-performance structural timber panels from certified forests - fast to erect, beautiful to inhabit.
Every project modelled digitally for design optimisation, supply chain coordination and lifecycle management.
we seek to reduce concrete use and site disruption - faster starts, lower embodied carbon.
Smart integrated on-site energy solution for shared savings, targeting net zero carbon in operation.
On-site energy generation integrated with solar, battery storage and smart demand management for shared community savings.
Integrated renewables and battery storage maximise self-consumption, reduce grid dependency and cut resident bills.
demand management optimises consumption across all units in real time.
Excess energy is shared across the community, lowering costs and supporting grid flexibility.
Providing options for people to get from A to B with the lowest possible environmental impact. We integrate shared mobility into every development.
On-site schemes give residents a zero-emission last-mile option right at their door. This reduces the need for car ownership and promotes active travel.
Shared electric vehicle access — the convenience of a car without the cost or carbon of ownership.
Lower car dependency means more space for people — landscaping, play and community, not tarmac.
Engaging green spaces that draw people together and support biodiversity. Every development includes curated landscape that is productive, beautiful and social.
Accessible allotments with fruit trees, storage benches, composting and insect habitats — for residents and community groups.
A rill harvests rainwater for allotment irrigation — closing the water loop on-site.
Play areas and wildflower planting support children, pollinators and biodiversity net gain.
A sheltered perimeter provides all-weather space for food markets, community events and crèche.
Technology to its fullest potential — without being intrusive. The PositivePlaces App connects residents to their home, energy, neighbours and building maintenance team.
Keyless entry integrated with the resident app for frictionless access and security.
Real-time monitoring enables optimised climate control and ongoing design improvement.
Smart lockers eliminate missed deliveries and reduce vehicle movements on-site.
Connected thermostats give residents control while enabling whole-building energy optimisation.

We wrap all the hardware and design with a layer of community functions and curation that makes the lived experience warm and neighbourly.
Shared lounges, roof terraces and courtyards designed for spontaneous connection and events.
Food markets, film nights, skills workshops — a living programme that brings residents together.
We work with local businesses, charities and creatives to root each development in its neighbourhood.
The digital glue — connecting residents to each other, to building management and to local services.
We actively seek brownfield urban-edge sites with the potential to become exemplar sustainable communities.
