The value of history and location is acknowledged and essential to all project development, whilst expressing the beauty inherent in a modern ecological approach. We take pride in our work. This includes simple innovative design to protect the environment and use natural resources responsibly - objectives set out in the UK's Sustainable Development Strategy.
The term Passivhaus (or Passive House) refers to an advanced low energy construction standard for buildings. The Passivhaus Institute was founded by Dr Wolfgang Feist in 1996. The criteria can be applied (not only to housing but all other building types such as schools or offices) to provide a consistent and comfortable indoor climate - cool in summer and warm in winter with minimal heating/cooling requirements.
