Energy Efficient Homes
tailored to your budget.
Simple and Quite Amazing
A Certified Passive House or Passivhaus, as it's known in Europe, is not the same as a passive solar design of the 70's and early 80's. Passive Houses today are wonderfully simple to own and maintain, and they work exceptionally well in our rainy PNW climate as well as all other climate zones, due to sophisticated design tools, we can tailor the home to your specific micro-climate.
