Slopehill Road

Designed for a young family who were keen to embrace  Passive House  principles whilst creating their dream home. This house was designed as a combination of the traditional and the contemporary to create a timeless home for many years to come.  European windows and glass have been used with high levels of earthwool insulation, air-tightness, balanced heat exchange, and ground source heat to create a large, but energy efficient home.  "We wanted a home that provides a great environment to raise our children.  We wanted both a healthy environment and a loving environment.  It needed to be warm in winter, cool in summer, with healthy air... form followed function in that we wanted to create spaces that support the way we want to live, while still being beautiful... like a good business, we wanted the house to have rock-solid character and values while utilising the latest technology under the hood”.  Photography by Sam Hartnett
