This Passivhaus Plus home sits within a highly sensitive Conservation Area in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.

Halliday Clark developed a sustainable design with a timber frame and straw bale system for the wall construction in addition to a building specification which avoids any cement-based and prime plastic-based products.

The Passivhaus standard design includes a full photovoltaic array, water recycling system and full MVHR.

“There are photovoltaic panels (PVs) on the roof and zinc cladding, creating a different palette of materials from other houses in the area, yet we have introduced stone cladding that has been sourced locally.”

The project has become the first accredited Passivhaus Plus project in North Yorkshire.
