The main area of focus during this project was occupancy wellness. Starting with the identification of 6 key areas (Water, Nourishment, Air, Nature, Sustainability and Mind) we began to plan and imbed features into the kitchen to support and enhance the health and wellbeing of future occupants. These features included:
WATER: Clean drinking water tap has been added to the kitchen to provide filtered drinking water for cooking and drinking.
NOURISHMENT: Fruit trees have been planted in the garden, as well as area which can be used for a vegetable patch. This provides the occupant the opportunity to grow and access their own
organic food, ready for preparation in the kitchen.
AIR: To achieve high levels of indoor air quality throughout, air purification and monitoring has been added to the main living area and externally, vented air extraction in the cooking area.
NATURE: During the creation process, we have included low maintenance, biodiverse natural environments. These include areas which help to sustain nature, e.g. insect boxes, and indoor planting areas as well as the use of natural materials such as.wooden feature walls.
SUSTAINABILITY:
The following sustainable practices have been incorporated into the kitchen to improve energy efficiency and the quality of life for occupants and surrounding wildlife. Some of the features include:
- Food and garden waste recycling
- Building efficiency and improved EPC energy rating via insulation
- Energy efficient appliances and lighting
-Boiler and intelligent heating systems
- Smart automated lighting
MIND:
Smart lighting systems enable the filtering of ‘junk’ blue light; improving sleep and mood. Voice
activated controls and smart heating system offers ease of use and comfort.

With over fifteen years of experience, Agora Homes creates unique properties with the client at the centre of everything we do. From concept to completion, each project has been carefully undertaken by specialists to produce beautiful, timeless homes.

At Agora Homes, we understand the importance of space and fluidity in a home, which is why spatial planning is an integral part of our design process. Each property has been carefully designed to optimise space and allow a natural flow from room to room.

The location of each property has been specifically selected with a focus on well-established, highly desirable locations to ensure that each new home created, will be a worthwhile investment for years to come.

Built in the picturesque Christchurch area, this approx. 2000 sq ft property sits beside the River Stour and St Catherine’s Hill Nature Reserve. This beautiful detached house contains three bedrooms with additional space available for a fourth. The property also features vaulted ceilings, a large heated swimming pool and a high-tech lighting and entertainment system.
Our vision for this property, was to create a harmonization between modern and natural. Blending modern and natural materials together, we aimed to create a property which was functional, stylish and well suited to modern living. A high tech lighting and entertainment system, paired with voice and sensor activated commands, provide comfort and convenience to all occupants. Alongside this theme, an emphasis was placed on capturing the beauty of nature. By placing carefully designed features, such as the pond and flourishing vegetable patch into the garden, wildlife is welcomed in, invoking a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Where possible, we tried to use natural materials, for example the oak floor running throughout the ground level, the cedar cladding used on the exterior of and the yellow Balau on the decking and framing the pool.

OUR CORE VALUES

CREATING VALUE
At Agora Homes, we strive to create wonderful homes that offer good investment to the buyer. We aim to make our homes cost efficient to run and maintain while also build in areas that we believe will continue to grow in value.

CUTTING EDGE DESIGN
At Agora Homes, we consider good design to be that which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical for the occupant. Throughout the planning and ex*****on stages, we carefully observe innovation across time. By examining the best designs from the past and future, we are able to discover and integrate designs which stand the test of time-as well as the most contemporary, practical designs suited to modern living.

PASSION
Passion drives all that we do at Agora Homes. We take great joy and fulfilment from the creation of beautiful homes that not only positively impact the occupant but also care for the surrounding environment.

OCCUPANT WELLNESS
Agora Homes takes both a holistic and scientific approach to the creation of each home, which is designed to be an area that alleviates stress and connects the occupant with nature. At Agora Homes, we make use of the latest technology and wellbeing research to sculpt our designs, ensuring that the environment of each home is conducive to the well-being and health of the occupant.

SUSTAINABILITY
Nature is a common theme running through everything we do at Agora Homes. We understand the power of the natural world around us and its ability to enhance our well-being and health. For this reason, we strive to create homes that are sustainable and do as little harm to the natural environment as possible.

With all of our sustainable builds, we aim to:

Follow our sustainable fit out guide which aims to help us design and deliver fit-outs that are conscious of the environmental impacts that building can cause.
Increase the biodiversity on each site \(where possible\).
Build homes that generate renewable electricity \(where possible\).
Seek to achieve EPC \(Energy Performance Certificate\) ratings that exceed building control guidelines \(where possible\).
