Nice article in the FT on #RetroFirst and embodied carbon Includes this great home retrofit by Catherine Ramsden. Increased liveable area by 1/3 and saves 86 tonnes of CO2 compared to a new build https://t.co/iEXYd5t3oL

‘Hidden gem’ unspoilt cottage for sale, ‘with planning permission to demolish and create a new, two-storey home’. This seems a sad waste of a sweet old cottage. If you want a new house maybe buy or build a new house without demolishing a sweet old cottage! 🏡 #retrofirst

Govanhill Baths looking fine in the sunshine today. With the exterior refurbishment complete, only the internal restoration remains to be completed now before it can be reopened as a wellbeing centre & hub for the community... #retrofitfirst #retrofirst 💚 https://t.co/cYmDq0aoFz

Bastion House is condemned. Awful, stupid, wasteful. #retrofirst

It seems that @HenryEOliver has a little reading to do on the #embodiedcarbon of demolition and replacement. It's not the moment for a Futurist passion to destroy, but for #Retrofirst.

The irreplaceable Central Hill Estate looking hot this evening! 💚💚💚 #SaveCentralHill #RetroFirst #RefurbishDontDemolish
