At Shore Architects, we have a passion for passive house designs that improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality for higher standards of living.

Expanding our reach through education

​

We are currently undertaking a series of blog posts to provide supplementary information and can't wait to share current progress of passive house Sydney projects and other technical information. This initiative aims to educate and inspire those interested in sustainable living, offering insights into the advantages and processes of building a passive house.
 

What can you do to make your home a passive house in Australia?
 

Embracing the passive house standard involves a comprehensive approach tailored to Australia’s unique climate and your lifestyle needs. Here’s what it means to build a passive house:
 

  • Effective planning with sustainable design principles — The first step is developing a strategic plan that incorporates cutting-edge sustainable design principles. This includes selecting the right site, orientation and materials to ensure energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Our approach focuses on creating homes that harness natural resources like sunlight and wind to reduce reliance on artificial heating and cooling.

  • Expert consultations throughout the project — At Shore Architects, we believe that continuous expert input is crucial to the success of any Sydney passive house project. From the initial concept to the final touches, our team provides ongoing guidance to ensure that every aspect of your home meets the strict passive house standards and your personal requirements.

  • Quality design and construction detailing — Precision is key in passive house construction. We emphasise quality design and meticulous construction detailing to achieve an airtight building envelope. This detail-oriented process helps in maintaining stable indoor temperatures and superior air quality, all while reducing overall energy consumption.
