Bringing High-Performance Homes to Life

You Wouldn’t Buy a Car Without Knowing Its Performance

So Why Buy a House Without Knowing Its Efficiency?

When it comes to cars, we look at fuel economy, emissions, and how it drives. But for one of the biggest investments of your life—your home—performance is often overlooked.

The New Era in Home Design

Climate Change is no longer a distant theory - it’s shaping every aspect of how we live, build and plan for the future. In response, the global building community has been exploring smarter, more sustainable ways to create homes.

Drawing inspiration from the early passive design thinking of iconic American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the first modern Passivhaus concept home was built in Darmstadt, Germany in 1991 by physicist Dr. Wolfgang Feist almost 100 years after Lloyd Wright’s theories. This groundbreaking project launched a new era of performance-based building.

More than three decades of real-world testing have shown that ultra-low energy homes aren’t just achievable—they’re cost-effective, comfortable, resilient to extreme weathers and built to last.

Across the world, a new wave of architectural innovation is reshaping how we design and build our homes and workplaces. The images above (courtesy of Pinterest.com) showcase just a glimpse of the global response to climate change and the demands of modern living.

Architects in every continent are moving beyond their traditional styles and construction methods, embracing sustainable, climate-resilient designs whilst creating spaces that are not only visually striking but also in harmony with the environment. Green roofs, smart building orientation, expansive full-height glazing and strategic shading are just some of the techniques used to optimise energy efficiency and comfort, make the most of natural daylight and stay comfortable year-round. Designs provide a flexible canvas for personal style whilst benefiting from future-focused performance.

Using contemporary materials with innovative thinking, today’s homes are being built not just for the here and now, but for the world of tomorrow and our future generations.

A well-designed home should do more than just look good. It should be energy-efficient, comfortable year-round, and built to support your wellbeing for the long term. That’s exactly what Passivhaus design delivers—measurable performance, lower running costs, and a better way to live.

Because a home isn’t just a place to live. It’s a system. And it should perform.

At Alden Rose, we have spent the last decade working with Passivhaus principles to create homes that are energy-efficient, comfortable and tailored to the people who live in them. We specialise in helping Self-Builders and small-site Developers to deliver unique, sustainable homes that are as practical as they are beautifully designed.

We offer a complete, end-to-end service from concept to construction for individuals and small builders, with a full design and planning service helping you create a bespoke family home.

Already have a design?

If you already have a design for a home or extension, we can advise on subtle alterations to help it align with Passivhaus standards and achieve a full Passive House Certification if required.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing vision, we’re here to help make it exceptional!

Our Advice Centre is a comprehensive resource for architectural industry insights covering key topics such as the Planning System, Building Control and common misconceptions surrounding Passivhaus design. Whether you’re seeking expert guidance or exploring innovative approaches, our centre offers valuable information to support your project.
