WELCOME TO STAND 47

We believe homes can be better. A better home is one that makes you feel better, that makes your life better. Not just a safe shelter, not only more comfortable, but also a place that makes you healthier, happier and perhaps even wealthier.

CASE STUDY

We've created an 'easy-to-read' summary of the Stand 47 case study including the design and build process followed in the project. The downloadable case study offers a useful summary of the steps required when building a home right from the initial idea, to developing a concept and finally to implementation. It also offers insight into the technical specification of the home which is potentially useful to consumers and professionals alike.
