High Performance Building Design

Create a home that works smarter, feels better, and lasts longer.

Our approach to high performance building design focuses on creating healthy, efficient homes that are comfortable year-round and cost-effective to run. Whether you’re aiming for an 8–9 Star NatHERS rating or a certified Passivhaus, we combine passive solar design, airtight construction, thermal bridge elimination and advanced ventilation systems to deliver exceptional energy performance. These homes are designed to naturally regulate temperature, maximise indoor air quality, and drastically reduce your energy consumption.

By carefully considering the orientation, layout, insulation, glazing, and thermal mass of your home, we create spaces that stay cool in summer and warm in winter - with minimal reliance on artificial heating and cooling. Fresh, filtered air is delivered throughout the home using mechanical ventilation systems, reducing airborne pollutants, mould, and condensation. We also prioritise non-toxic, sustainable materials that support long-term health and wellbeing. With high performance building design, you’ll enjoy stable indoor temperatures, lower running costs, and a quieter, more resilient home.

Whether you're planning a new build or reimagining an existing one, our team will guide you through every stage - from concept to completion - ensuring your home delivers on comfort, efficiency, and sustainability.
