High Performance Houses™ are architect-designed homes that use combinations of carefully designed pavilions and link-ways to create individual, affordable, and energy-efficient homes. Each home is specifically designed to maximise its site and suit the needs of each homeowner. High-Performance Houses™ can be prefabricated or built on site.

The High Performance House concept has been designed by practicing architects at Salmond Architecture to increase the level of sustainability and energy efficiency in homes. It was developed from careful observation of reoccurring patterns in housing needs and solutions.

We believe energy-efficient, healthy, architect-designed homes can be made available to a wider range of home-owners by standardising some elements and linking them differently to best suit each situation. The High-Performance House has been designed to fit a market between standard plans and one-off architecturally designed homes.
