As winter approaches the days are starting to get dark and cold in London, however the country's first certified Passivhaus now provides a warm and energy-efficient haven for one lucky family. Created by London-based Bere:Architects, the Camden Passivhaus is a timber-framed 118 square meter two-bedroom residence that preserves the Earth's resources while shaving up to 90% off its energy bills!
London’s first Passivehaus has a heavily insulated shell made from prefabricated European larch timber. The term Passivehaus refers to an advanced low-energy construction standard that ensures homes are cool in the summer, warm during the winter, and well ventilated with perfect air humidity levels. As a result, the energy-efficient home maintains a high level of indoor air quality while consuming much less energy than other south-facing terraced houses in the area.

Hi Andrew, if you have any sustainable buildings you would like to recommend for an article, you can email the info to me a@analisa.co.uk Thanks a lot!
Nice one. Opened another passivhaus scheme in Wimbish on friday. Slowly people are getting it.
I really like the style of the home. Much of the design is quite simple and yet the details that are there give it so much character.
I just love these types of houses. My girlfriend and I are in the fortunate position to both have good jobs. We’ve been able to buy a plot of land for a good price and are also planning to build a passive/energy neutral house.
The plans have been drawn up, planning permission was given last week. We’re now busy trying to find a builder to build our house within our budget. All very exciting!
