In this episode, Cherise is joined by Sean Ronnie Hill from RISE Design Studio, a London and Barcelona-based architecture practice dedicated to low-energy design and thoughtful, human-centred spaces. They discuss two projects with a focus on low energy design, low carbon technologies and Passivehouse principles. Those two projects are The Herbert Paradise home and The Lexi Cinema Hub, both in Kensal Rise, London.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

Nestled in the heart of Kensal Rise, North West London, the Herbert Paradise House is a striking transformation of a 1930s mid-terrace property, and a former car park has been transformed into a vibrant new addition to The Lexi — the city’s only social enterprise cinema. Designed by RISE Design Studio, the Herbert Paradise House and The Lexi Cinema and Hub are small but powerful examples of how architecture can support both community and sustainability through Passivehaus principles.
