This house has been designed to meet the needs of the ‘squeezed middle’ clients who need to look after their children and grandchildren sometimes as well as the needs of their parents. Although the site has an existing gas and electricity supply we have designed the dwelling to focus on its long- term use so it is a low- energy passivhaus design which will allow the owners to spend more of their time and money in the future on family things rather than paying bills. We have also designed this house to be future proofed to allow the addition of future technologies without the need to change the structure of the house.
