South Surrey Passive House
Three generations and one Passive House in Surrey
Eine grüne Geschichte von Marken Projects.
The clients desire to have three generations live under one roof reduces their ecological footprint as a family such as this would normally be living in separate houses.
Currently under construction, the design of this innovative Passive House building in South Surrey began last summer. Through close dialogue and interaction with the clients to incorporate their wish list items, the building developed through the later months of the year to a completed design and building permit ready project by Christmas.
The clients desire to have three generations live under one roof reduces their ecological footprint as a family such as this would normally be living in separate houses. There are a lot tangible and maybe not so tangible benefits to this. Less car journeys for the grandparents and grandchildren to meet and play/babysit, social benefit of having family close by to provide care saving health care costs/demand- especially with the generation that are advancing in age, to name but a few.
