Reimagining Housing: The Transforming Homes Webinar Series
12/06/2025

At Healthy Homes Hub, we believe transformation in housing starts not just with technology or policy, but with people—how we live, how we feel in our homes, and how we design for the future. That’s why we’re proud to support and promote the Transforming Homes webinar series, led by Cardiff University’s Welsh School of Architecture and a consortium of expert partners from across the UK.
Earlier this year, we were joined on the Healthy Homes Podcast by Professor Jo Patterson, one of the leaders of the Transforming Homes initiative. In our conversation, Jo reminded us that “transformation is personal, not just technical.” That sentiment captures the heart of this series: three sessions exploring how design research, co-design with communities, and the challenge of scaling up can reshape the way we approach the UK’s ageing housing stock.

As the housing sector faces a perfect storm of climate targets, poor housing conditions, affordability challenges, and growing public concern over issues like damp, mould, and fuel poverty, it’s clear that we need more than just incremental improvements. We need transformation. And that means combining innovation with deep listening, creativity with collaboration, and research with reality.
