This home uses 7-8 times less energy than the average home in Russia!

The designers managed to slash the building’s carbon footprint so that it emits only 110 kWh/ m2 a year by using building-integrated solar panels and passive design techniques that ensure the home is flooded with light and well-ventilated.

The home is clad in sustainably sourced timber, giving it a natural, fresh look. The completion of the project was such a big deal for Russia that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark cut the ribbon at a ceremony, marking the completion of the country’s very first Active House.
