Passive House New Build

This bespoke new-build residence has been designed as a highly efficient, low-energy family home with a strong connection to its landscaped setting. The architectural form is arranged as a series of contemporary pitched-roof volumes, creating a distinctive rural character while allowing the internal accommodation to remain spacious, open and filled with natural light.

Extensive glazing connects the principal living areas with the garden, terrace and surrounding views. Deep overhangs, carefully positioned openings and external shading help manage solar gain while maintaining daylight and visual connection throughout the home. Natural timber cladding and standing-seam metal roofing give the building a refined, contemporary appearance that will weather comfortably within its setting.

The environmental strategy is integral to the design. A highly insulated and airtight building envelope substantially reduces heat loss, while an air-source heat pump provides efficient low-carbon heating and hot water. Roof-mounted solar panels are integrated into the architecture to generate renewable electricity without compromising the clean roof form.

A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system continuously supplies fresh, filtered air while recovering warmth from outgoing air. This supports excellent indoor air quality, consistent temperatures and reduced reliance on conventional heating.

The result is a carefully considered passive home that combines architectural quality, renewable technology and long-term energy performance to create a comfortable, healthy and sustainable place to live.
