Passive House

Passive houses use 90% less energy. They’re good for your ongoing finances, great for our planet, and insanely comfortable to live in.

Why build a Passive House?

Custom built, passive homes make the most of natures elements, resulting in less waste, lower
ongoing costs, reduced environmental impact and a higher quality build.

Healthy living

Heat recovery ventilation systems provide healthy indoor air which can be distributed around your home, draft free.

Temperature controlled

Passive solar, optimal insulation and orientation provides constant indoor temperatures, whatever the weather.
