Every home has a case.
The Bureau is a fictional world created for HoWA’s unOrdinary films, giving the details of everyday home life extraordinary, cinematic attention.
Our first Bureau films are currently in production. Each begins with a familiar part of looking after a home, seen through the unOrdinary world of HoWA.

Moving home should not mean starting from nothing. The property keeps its useful history, while the preferences and routines that belong to your household move with you.

In productionThe Garden Would Like a Word
A garden is always giving you clues. A change in a plant, a branch out of place or the turn of a season can all point towards what needs attention next.

In productionThe House at Enquiries
A home is more than an address. Its condition, care, records and history can build a clearer picture of what is known, what needs attention and what may be worth doing next.
Understand the HoWA ScoreThe team behind HoWA
The Bureau brings together the people and disciplines that help HoWA understand the home more fully. Property, design, horticulture, home care, risk and technology all contribute to the way HoWA develops. Their work helps shape how information is understood, how the HoWA Score develops and how HoWA turns what it knows about a home into something useful.
HoWA is what you use. The Bureau is the fictional world behind its films.
