Join us for an exclusive site tour of Ruth St Passivhaus (under construction), a compact family home situated on an inner city block with double fronted living space to provide north and street facing terrace and private rear garden views.
Whilst modern in form, the home is carefully scaled and setback from the street to reflect the existing built form context and maximise outdoor space.
Learning Outcomes:
- The challenges with maintaining winter and summer heats balanced in order to reach requirements for certification.
- The combination of the boundary-to-boundary construction with a brief to provide large window openings on the North and South elevations.
- Building boundary to boundary meant careful consideration with all the team members to provide a solution that resulted in minimising risk of moisture management, thermal bridges while still supporting the first-floor structure.
