Passive Home Design
PassivHaus design encompasses both the methodology and the adherence to the world’s leading energy-efficient design standards. Passive building design for residential homes draws on the concept of energy efficiency but goes beyond this by creating comfortable and functional homes.
Although we are new to Passive House as a standard, Owen Batchelor and his team have been designing high-quality award-winning homes and buildings in and around South East Queensland for over three decades.
We have worked on just about every type of home in that time, from tree houses to multi-million dollar homes and everything in between.
Our design philosophy is to create Quality Lifestyle Outcomes through Sustainable Building Design Principals. The results will be livable, affordable and beautiful. Visit our sister site, East Coast Building Design, to catch up on our completed projects and see our work.
