From the @passivhaustrust.bsky.social Retrofit Case Study Series

Here are some examples of superficial simplicity that increase complexity and cost and reduce function: -hidden gutters; - concealed rainwater downpipes; cantilevers; parapets; - anything with no visible means of support; -shadow gap replacing skirting; avoidance of trim or architraves; • corner windows; - windows precisely aligned with ceiling or internal walls; • fully glazed façades; • pocket doors.
There’s increased complexity & cost when it comes to minimalist design. I’m guilty of three charges when it comes to designing our own house 🤫

If saving energy in buildings also counts, PHPP software is an energy modelling tool used to design energy efficient buildings. Passivhaus or Enerphit buildings save around 80-90% of operational energy compared with typical new builds.
We had a very interesting and informative visit to the new Passivhaus Perth and Monifieth High Schools recently. Some amazing learning spaces! Thanks to Norr Architects and Council colleagues for showing us around @perthandkinross.bsky.social @anguscouncil.bsky.social @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Just watched the Guy Martin channel 4 Passivhaus doc and the answers are all there, we just need to upskill builders and improve awareness
Thrilled to see Hampstead #Passivhaus shortlisted for the 2026 RIBA London Awards.
A Victorian conservation-area townhouse retrofitted to certified #EnerPHit:
• ~90% cut in space heating
• 75% lower operational energy
• 58% lower whole life carbon
Heritage + deep decarbonisation at its best.
Preventing local authorities from pursuing the most ambitious environmental standards that go beyond current, inadequate building regulations for greener homes is shameful & shortsighted, & cheats people out of warm, energy efficient homes👇
