Construction of a new 2 storey, 3 bedroom, contemporary detached dwelling and associated site works. To meet passive house standards, high levels of air-tightness throughout the structure were required. Furthermore, to achieve compliance, all materials, construction methods, and thermal bridge eradication were thoroughly analysed.
