Now occupied since December 2012, this Single Family Residence on Vancouver Island was desgined to achieve the stringent Passive House standard.
The new two level home is replacing an older, one level cottage located on a south-east facing lot surrounded by mature trees and lots of natural landscape.
Sensitive planning of the dwelling’s placement using the existing footprint, focus on sourcing natural, regional green materials, designing along the Passive House principles and implementing a variety of progressive Green Building Strategies are the main focus points of this project, next to affordability of course.
