9 Energy Efficient Homes From a Tiny Footprint: How our Insulated Foundation Made It Possible

Energy Efficient Homes Built With Future Found insulated raft foundation system

The Gap House, Bristol

The Gap House development shows how smart construction choices can transform land that might otherwise be overlooked. Set within a cluster of former garage sites, the project needed a foundation solution that would work efficiently in a confined urban space while supporting a modern build approach.

Future Found insulated raft foundation system played a key role in making that possible. Its pre-formed layout provided the project team with an organised, well-defined starting point, helping to streamline the early stages of construction. On a site where every metre matters, having a foundation system that fits neatly into the available space and reduces on-site complexity is a major advantage.

The integrated insulation also set the project up with a strong foundation—literally!

By incorporating thermal performance directly into the base of the build, the system supported the delivery of comfortable, energy efficient homes without adding extra steps or complications. It allowed the wider construction to move forward with confidence, knowing the groundwork was already aligned with the project’s overall goals.

The Gap House is a great example of how good foundations aren’t just a technical detail—they’re a key enabler. When the right system is chosen, even challenging plots can become opportunities to create well-designed, high-quality homes.

If you’re working on a constrained site or an infill project, we’d be happy to share how this approach can help you get off to a strong start.
