Passivhaus family home blending sustainability with style.
Set on the site of a former water tower near Newbury, this striking family house shows how sustainable living can be both smart and stylish. Designed and prefabricated off-site using Passivhaus principles – the world’s leading standard for energy efficiency – this four-bedroom home demonstrates that eco-design doesn’t need to mean compromise.
Clad in black timber, with modern interiors, the design takes inspiration from traditional Berkshire barns while offering a strong external appearance; an intentional statement. Inside, generous west-facing windows frame sweeping countryside views and flood the home with light, creating a warm and joyful interior.
For the family, this home is more than just efficient. It’s comfortable, future-proof, and filled with character – proof that smart, eco-friendly design can also be beautiful.
