With people spending 90% of their time indoors, whether working or relaxing, it’s crucial to design healthy indoor environments for homeowners. Daylight and fresh air play a key role in creating healthy homes and supporting well-being.
This is exactly what inspired the design of the new C Series house type, which is now available on WholeHouse – an innovative digital platform by Travis Perkins – through their collaboration with VELUX.
Bringing together expertise and product excellence
WholeHouse provides housebuilders with a simplified solution to design, plan and cost construction projects with remarkable speed, transforming complex construction planning into an easier and faster experience.
By leveraging VELUX windows, WholeHouse has created an open, airy feel that enhances the living environment. Their shared commitment to improving indoor living spaces led to a design that brings an abundance of natural light to home interiors.
The C Series design that WholeHouse and VELUX worked on together demonstrates the potential this digital tool has to offer, and should encourage smaller firms to take on ambitious projects with confidence.
A powerful tool for small to medium-sized housebuilders
With the recent VELUX project, WholeHouse allowed for the precise specification of roof windows that perfectly suit both bungalow and two-storey chalet designs – all with the click of a button, making it a valuable asset for customising residential builds.
The platform is particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized builders aiming to launch bespoke projects without the extensive resources available to larger firms. By providing a clear framework for material needs and costing, WholeHouse helps professionals achieve a high standard of build at a commercially viable scale.
Collaborating for homes that promote light, air and well-being
The collaboration between WholeHouse and VELUX brings together a wealth of expertise to optimise design, ensuring homes are filled with high levels of natural daylight. By focusing on the strategic use of daylight, the partnership creates brighter, more inviting spaces that enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the home.
Innovative design and technical solutions ensure homes are equipped with optimal ventilation that promotes fresh airflow. This focus on fresh air enhances air quality, reduces indoor pollutants and creates healthier living spaces.
The integration of daylight and fresh air improves the overall quality of life for homeowners. The combination of these elements promotes wellness, ensuring a positive and comfortable living experience.
The C Series house type is a powerful testament to this approach, showcasing the transformative impact of enhanced daylight design. It demonstrates how increased natural light not only improves aesthetics but also significantly improves the overall design.
Lee Jackson, technical & WholeHouse director at Travis Perkins, said: “Close collaboration is key on a project like this. A partnership between brands such as VELUX and Travis Perkins allows the teams involved to draw on years of experience from both sides to refine design and materials selection, resulting in homes that not only look and feel great but also meet industry standards.”
“By combining Travis Perkins’ technical expertise with VELUX’s product excellence, we’re able to develop commercially viable options that serve the unique needs of small and medium-sized builders, helping them compete and thrive in the market.”
