Altoria Homes, a Northumberland-based luxury home developer founded in 2016 by Alan and Victoria Fleming, is building solid eco foundations with its dedication to environmentally friendly construction and sustainability.
The company, well known for its high-end developments in Stannington and Blyth, is now focusing on their latest project—a bungalow development in West Thirston near Felton. This new development, designed with the environment in mind, is designed to be as energy efficient as possible, featuring electric vehicle chargers, air source heat pumps, and underfloor heating reaffirming Altoria Homes commitment to green living.
In a bold move to further boost their sustainability efforts, Altoria Homes has partnered with local entrepreneur and Stannington farmer Michael Dungait, founder of Green Acres, a Northumberland-based initiative that offers carbon offsetting solutions through local action. Rather than relying on large-scale international carbon-offset programs, Green Acres focuses on localised efforts such as tree and hedge planting, bee hive cultivation, and grassland management. This partnership allows Altoria Homes to visibly reduce their carbon footprint right in their own backyard.
“Building homes that not only meet the highest standards of luxury but also contribute positively to the environment has always been at the core of what we do,” says Alan Fleming. “Our partnership with Green Acres allows us to take that commitment even further, ensuring that our developments have a lasting, positive impact on the local environment.”
Through the collaboration with Green Acres, Altoria Homes has already planted 150 trees, helping to offset the carbon produced during the construction process. These eco-friendly initiatives, combined with state-of-the-art energy systems like underfloor heating and air source heat pumps, ensure that Altoria’s homes set a new standard for sustainability in luxury living. By working together, Altoria Homes and Green Acres are setting a new standard for sustainability in the construction industry, showing that luxury and eco-friendliness can go hand in hand.
Michael Dungait of Green Acres added: “We help businesses like Altoria Homes meet their sustainability commitments with transparent, local actions. The audit we do, and the subsequent planting of trees and nature management also helps businesses like Alan’s prove that they are a genuine sustainable business which is good for them, their customers and contracting organisations.”
Victoria Fleming, co-founder of Altoria Homes, expressed pride in their work to become more sustainable, saying, “We’ve always made conscious decisions to be sustainable. Working with Green Acres is an exciting next step, We’ve seen the detailed metrics on exactly how much carbon we offset through their programmes and if every other builder followed suit, the environment would benefit hugely.”
