Life's
better
shared.

We develop places that tackle the housing, climate and loneliness crisis through the art and science of modern place making.

+Mission

We build places for more balanced lives

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.

Housing Crisis

Quality homes through efficient modular construction at scale.

Climate Crisis

Net zero carbon through integrated renewable energy systems.

Loneliness Crisis

Shared spaces and curated experiences that bring people together.

+What We Do

Six pillars of positive
place making.

02

Energy

Smart on-site energy for shared savings and net zero carbon operation.

  • On-site micro-grid production
  • Solar + battery storage
  • Smart energy management
03

Mobility

Getting from A to B with the lowest possible environmental impact.

  • E-Scooter sharing schemes
  • E-Bike communal fleet
  • EV Car Club access
04

Landscape

Engaging green spaces that draw people together and support biodiversity.

  • Allotments with fruit trees
  • Rainwater harvesting rill
  • Play area & wildflower meadow
05

Operations

Technology that simplifies operations via the PositivePlaces App.

  • Digital keys & access control
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Parcel management
06

Community

Social spaces, curated events, local partnerships — warm neighbourly living.

  • Resident events programme
  • Local business partnerships
  • PositivePlaces community app

+Build

Offsite precision manufacturing - our kit-of-parts approach delivers speed, quality control and low embodied carbon.

Off-site Production, On-site Assembly

Our kit-of-parts approach separates production from construction - quality control, speed and reduced waste.

3D Pods

Fully fitted shower rooms and kitchens produced in the factory and craned into position - ready to connect.

2D Structural Panels

High-performance structural timber panels from certified forests - fast to erect, beautiful to inhabit.

Digital Twin & BIM

Every project modelled digitally for design optimisation, supply chain coordination and lifecycle management.

Minimised Groundworks

we seek to reduce concrete use and site disruption - faster starts, lower embodied carbon.

+Energy

Smart integrated on-site energy solution for shared savings, targeting net zero carbon in operation.

Micro-Grid Production

On-site energy generation integrated with solar, battery storage and smart demand management for shared community savings.

Solar + Battery Storage

Integrated renewables and battery storage maximise self-consumption, reduce grid dependency and cut resident bills.

Smart Energy Management

demand management optimises consumption across all units in real time.

Community Sharing

Excess energy is shared across the community, lowering costs and supporting grid flexibility.

Mobility hub
+Mobility

Providing options for people to get from A to B with the lowest possible environmental impact. We integrate shared mobility into every development.

E-Bike and E-Scooter Sharing

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.

EV Car Club

Shared electric vehicle access — the convenience of a car without the cost or carbon of ownership.

Reduced Parking

Lower car dependency means more space for people — landscaping, play and community, not tarmac.

Landscape
+Landscape

Engaging green spaces that draw people together and support biodiversity. Every development includes curated landscape that is productive, beautiful and social.

Allotments

Accessible allotments with fruit trees, storage benches, composting and insect habitats — for residents and community groups.

Rainwater Harvesting

A rill harvests rainwater for allotment irrigation — closing the water loop on-site.

Play & Wildflower Meadow

Play areas and wildflower planting support children, pollinators and biodiversity net gain.

Covered Cloister

A sheltered perimeter provides all-weather space for food markets, community events and crèche.

Operations app
+Operations

Technology to its fullest potential — without being intrusive. The PositivePlaces App connects residents to their home, energy, neighbours and building maintenance team.

Digital Keys

Keyless entry integrated with the resident app for frictionless access and security.

Environmental Sensors

Real-time monitoring enables optimised climate control and ongoing design improvement.

Parcel Management

Smart lockers eliminate missed deliveries and reduce vehicle movements on-site.

Smart Thermostats

Connected thermostats give residents control while enabling whole-building energy optimisation.

Community
+Community

We wrap all the hardware and design with a layer of community functions and curation that makes the lived experience warm and neighbourly.

Social Spaces

Shared lounges, roof terraces and courtyards designed for spontaneous connection and events.

Curated Events

Food markets, film nights, skills workshops — a living programme that brings residents together.

Local Partnerships

We work with local businesses, charities and creatives to root each development in its neighbourhood.

PositivePlaces App

The digital glue — connecting residents to each other, to building management and to local services.
