It is important to engage a Passive House Architect to help you make your dreams a reality. When envisioning your dream home, what words come to mind? Comfort? Sustainability? Energy efficiency?

At Eco Passive House, our Passive House architects are passionate about creating homes that are not only beautiful and functional but also incredibly energy-efficient, comfortable, and environmentally responsible. We understand that a Passive House is more than just a building; it’s a harmonious integration of design, science, and sustainability principles.
We begin by carefully analyzing your site, taking into account factors such as solar orientation, topography, and prevailing winds. This allows us to optimize the building's design for maximum solar gain in winter and natural shading in summer, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.
The building envelope, comprising the walls, roof, and floor, plays a crucial role in Passive House performance. Our architects meticulously design this envelope to minimise heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This involves using high-quality insulation, airtight construction techniques, and high-performance windows and doors.
Thermal bridges are areas where heat can easily escape through the building envelope. Our architects employ advanced modelling software and meticulous detailing to eliminate or minimize these bridges, ensuring a continuous and effective thermal barrier.
A well-designed ventilation system is essential for a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Our architects incorporate heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems, which provide fresh, filtered air while recovering heat from the outgoing air. This ensures optimal indoor air quality without compromising energy efficiency.
We explore opportunities to integrate renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic panels and heat pumps, to further reduce the building's energy consumption and carbon footprint.
While prioritising energy efficiency, we never compromise on aesthetics or functionality. Our architects create visually appealing designs that meet your specific needs and preferences, ensuring a home that is both beautiful and practical.
