We are Certified Passive House Designers

An Internationally Recognised Accreditation

Passive House, or as the germans say, "Passivhaus" buildings achieve a 75% reduction in space heating requirements, compared to standard practice for UK new build. 

​

We use accurate design modelling via the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP).

Materials

Local and Renewable

Timber is one of our favourite building materials as it can be carbon neutral ... and yes, we can use straw to super-insulate your home!
