Reimagining BTR: Insights from Robin Hutton in Show House Magazine

The Build to Rent (BTR) market is shifting. With fewer high-rise schemes and a growing investor focus on Single Family Housing, PBSA and Co-living, design has never been more important.

In the latest issue of Show House Magazine, Kibre’s Managing Director, Robin Hutton, discusses how thoughtful design and FF&E strategies can unlock long-term value in this changing landscape, from creating characterful new developments to refreshing first-generation BTR schemes that now require considered refurbishment.

“Design is no longer just about aesthetics, it’s about creating intuitive, distinctive spaces that foster wellbeing and belonging. In a competitive market, that’s what makes people stay,” Robin explains.
