In London’s Kensal Rise, RISE Design Studio has transformed a mid-terrace house into a beacon of sustainable urban living. The Hebert Paradise project showcases a deep retrofit that exceeds energy efficiency standards, with advanced strategies like an ASHP, solar PV, and MVHR.
This eco-conscious design not only reduces energy consumption by 75% but also seamlessly integrates the home with its lush garden, creating a harmonious work-life balance for the residents.

About Hebert Paradise
Sustainable Urban Oasis: Hebert Paradise Reimagines Eco-Conscious Living in London
In the vibrant heart of Kensal Rise, North West London, a mid-terrace house has undergone a remarkable transformation. Designed by the innovative RISE Design Studio, this project, titled “Hebert Paradise,” sets a new standard for eco-friendly retrofits in metropolitan areas. Energy-Efficient Retrofitting Strategies
Incorporating advanced EnerPHit principles, the renovation employs cutting-edge energy-efficient strategies. An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) provides water and space heating, while Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels generate renewable electricity. The home boasts enhanced airtightness, super-insulation, and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, resulting in a staggering 75% reduction in energy consumption – from 38,500 kWh per annum to just 9,500 kWh per annum (from 13,300 kWh per year to 3,300 kWh per year).
