About us

Ellora Coupe, Founder & Director 

Ellora believes that the key to driving innovation and increasing the adoption of retrofitting among homeowners lies in embracing diversity and ensuring the inclusion of professional women and women homeowners. Having built a community of over 3,000 women homeowners involved in renovation and construction projects, she believes there is a strong desire to create healthier, more energy-efficient homes through retrofitting. With the right tools and support, she sees retrofitting becoming a normalised part of any renovation project. It created an opportunity to empower professional women in the retrofit industry to meet the specific needs of women homeowners.

Her Retrofit Space was launched in June 2024, offering a unique platform, specifically funded by memberships, to support professional women in the industry.

"It was vital to provide an innovative platform for professional women to share ideas, access live webinars, resources, funding and training. We needed to enable their careers and businesses in order to increase the opportunity to connect the dots and benefit the retrofit industry as a whole."
