Testimonials
“They have been a brilliant combination of excellent design and technical knowhow but most of all they have been a big support. Tom understood exactly what we were trying to achieve aesthetically and Tim makes sure the technical and passive house elements work. I can’t overstate how valuable it is to have this kind of support join us for the roller coaster ride.”
Karen and Tony Nagel

Why should I use you to design my Passivhaus?We carefully craft our Passivhaus buildings so that they not only meet the required standard for certification, but also have ‘wow-factor’. We believe that the standard doesn’t need to come at the expense of good design, and this is a philosophy we apply throughout. We call it design-led Passivhaus. We have good relationships with certified contractors and manufacturers who make pre-certified systems, helping you to achieve your goals in the most cost-effective and stress-free manner. We’re also familiar with the common pitfalls which can hit your budget and compromise the project, helping you avoid these and saving you money. Our co-founder Tom Locke is also a Certified Passive House Designer, recognised by the Passivhaus Trust as having substantial knowledge and expertise in the principles and delivery of low energy and Passivhaus buildings.
