Skidmore Passive House merges contemporary design with the highest level of energy efficiency. Providing a true live / work condition, an architecture office is situated with its own entrance, while the 2 bedroom house includes an adjoining art studio with roof terrace. Super insulation, high performing triple glazed windows, extremely airtight construction, and a heat recovery ventilator allow the structure to meet the stringent requirements of the German Passivhaus standard. An extensive green roof helps manage all stormwater on site, while roof mounted solar panels provide electricity and preheat domestic water, resulting in a net zero and truly sustainable building.
