Eco-homes that are designed to Passive House Standards create a comfortable, healthy living environment that is future proof. The aim of the project is to improve the quality of the living spaces to create a comfortable environment that encourages better use of the garden, with minimal impact on the surrounding context. The design achieves this by developing a simple built form that creates key living areas that relate to outdoor spaces, provide privacy without encroaching over the neighbours build line.

The fabric first approach focused on, high levels of insulation in the walls, floor and roof, maximising airtightness to reduce cold draughts, positioning windows to maximise heating from the sun in the winter and using thermal mass to keep homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This approach results in affordable residential design with lower energy bills, an airtight, draught free home and a cleaner healthier living environment.
