Small But Mighty Passive House in London

Architecture firm Tectonics designed the first new-construction Passive House in Hackney, London.

The upper level consists of an open-plan living and dining space and was built with a prefabricated cross-laminated timber construction. The kitchen is outfitted with Miele appliances and a terrazzo countertop from Marmi Scala. Aim pendants from Flos hang above the stairway.

With an airtight building seal and triple-glazed windows, the structure receives all the heat it needs from the sun.
