RISE Design Studio. We design buildings that breathe, adapt, and last.

With Passivhaus principles, adaptive reuse, and 3D tech, we create low-energy homes, thoughtful retrofits, and future-proof spaces.

Sustainable, smart, built for people.
As snow hits London, many homes are fighting the cold - draughts, freezing rooms and soaring energy bills.

Warmth held gently.
Comfort you can trust.
