When complete, this new country house will be truly ground-breaking: the first in the world to achieve PassivHaus performance with a non-standard form. While its design and materials offer clear references to nearby traditional farm buildings, its environmental performance is exceptional. We have worked with the University of Bath to develop sustainable construction techniques, and our rigorous design approach has produced a house that reflects the highest standards of architecture, enhances its setting, and is sensitive to the characteristics of the local area.
