What We Do - Passive Houses & Sustainable Architecture
We are a specialist architecture studio with local and international Passive House experience.
We have worked across a range of project types, from one-off residential dwellings to education, community and social housing projects, new builds and high performance retrofits.
What our clients say
Clients appreciate our quiet professionalism and exceptional listening skills. We handle tight budgets, complex needs, unexpected scope changes, and site limitations with ease.
Our expertise spans various PHI certifications: Passive House (Classic, Plus, Premium), LEB, and EnerPHit (retrofits). We explain the benefits and reasoning behind these certifications, tailoring the technical details to your preference.
Not all clients choose certification or certifiable performance levels. This depends on location, budget, and other factors. We prioritize solutions that work best for each individual.
However, Energy Architecture doesn’t design standard, minimally compliant houses. We specialize in sustainable architecture, creating high-performing homes that offer a healthy, comfortable, and inspiring environment for current and future residents.
We take a long-term view, addressing immediate climate change and environmental challenges simultaneously.
The right approach
We offer fair and transparent fees for projects of any size or budget. Our expertise allows us to deliver high-performance designs at affordable prices. We create a guiding framework to ensure your designs meet your brief and achieve optimal cost-efficiency.
The right fit
It’s important to choose an architect on the basis of a successful track record and proven competency. But also consider not just what they produce but how they work and what they value.
We believe the best work happens when the client is a vital part of the design team: sharing the details of how they live, what inspires and delights them and their aspirations for their new home. You want an architect you feel good about working with; someone on the same page.
The right skills
Our team’s experience across Europe, the UK, and New Zealand brings significant expertise to various projects. We specialize in residential work, but we are also passionate about designing educational and community facilities, specialist workplaces, and social housing projects.
We don’t just build new buildings; we also tackle deep retrofits, significantly improving comfort, wellbeing, and energy efficiency. Additionally, we have designed and developed a number of prefabrication systems for various clients.
