Norfolk House: Designed to Passive House Standards for Energy-Efficiency and Sustainability
Norfolk House is an energy-efficient, high-performance residential project built to Passive House standards. This full refurbishment and rear extension transform the home into an eco-friendly living space that prioritizes sustainability, comfort, and energy savings. Powered by solar energy, Norfolk House reduces its carbon footprint and harnesses renewable resources, setting a new benchmark for energy-efficient homes in Norfolk.
Studio AVC’s design for Norfolk House blends modern architectural innovation with sustainable solutions. The use of zinc cladding ensures a durable, low-maintenance exterior, while solar reflective glass minimizes heat gain, reducing the need for artificial cooling and lowering energy consumption. These elements reflect Studio AVC’s commitment to environmentally responsible architecture that doesn’t compromise on style or functionality.
Energy-Efficiency Features
Norfolk House incorporates a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, providing continuous fresh air while maintaining optimal indoor temperatures. A rainwater harvesting system is also included, reducing water consumption and supporting eco-friendly living.
Maximizing Space and Natural Light
The open-plan ground floor features full-height doors that seamlessly integrate the interior with the garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The first-floor extension adds a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
