Passive House
Expertly designed, meticulously built, and delivered , on time and within budget, So you can enjoy year-round comfort, healthy and energy efficiency
Passivhaus: The ultimate in quality
Once you’ve lived in a Certified Passivhaus, you’ll never go back to an ordinary house. There’s nothing like:
The Comfort and Health: No matter how hot or cold it gets outside, you’ll always be comfortable at a stable 20-25 degrees all year round. And with every aspect of your home optimised to make the most of your land, you’ll enjoy the best natural light, breezes, views, and privacy.
The heat recovery ventilation system means you will have fresh filtered, temperature-adjusted air constantly entering your house, while dirty air is removed. This system also means less dust will enter your house, and mould will not grow. All without needing to open a window during a hot summer day, or a rainy winter night!
The Quality: Everything from the structural components to the finishes are expertly designed and meticulously built to look stunning and last a lifetime.
The Savings: Less maintenance requirements and up to 90% lower energy consumption can add up to tens of thousands in savings over the lifetime of your home. This is why our homes are economical to run
Yet beware -- not all so-called Passivhaus Homes are equal
With the increasing popularity of energy efficient homes, terms like Passivhaus (usually written as Passive House) are becoming more common.
Yet to be called a Passivhaus, a home must pass rigorous tests and meet strict performance standards. Only then can it be Certified by the Passivhaus Institute. These standards are not merely theoretical. They lead to real, measurable benefits in quality, comfort, and energy efficiency.
The first Passivhaus was built in Germany in 1991. Ongoing testing shows it performs just as well over 30 years later. Note: This could be included as a caption under a photo of the house.
Marco and his team are one of only a few builders in Perth to build a Certified Passivehaus, and the only builder able to follow the whole process and both design and build a Certified Passivhaus.
The principles
Continuous insulation
Installed with meticulous attention to detail to ensure complete coverage in walls and roof
High performance windows and doors
Double-glazed/triple-glazed to prevent heat transfer
Heat recovery ventilation
Provides fresh, filtered air while maintaining indoor temperatures and recycling energy
Airtight
No gaps—sealed tight to prevent heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
No thermal bridging
So heat cannot transfer through connecting structures
Marco and his team go steps further including:
- Orientation and form: optimised for your block of land
- Moisture management: to minimise the risk of mould
- Efficient water heating: to save even more energy
- Daylight and solar gain: to make the most of natural light
- Shading: to minimise heat gain
- Liveability: Plan your home with your future in mind
- Low maintenance: A high-quality build means less maintenace in the future
- Solar panels: Create your own energy
- Waterwise: Use precious rainwater where suitable
The result is a home that gives you the ultimate in comfort, health and energy efficiency all year round.
