The Yorkshire Passive House making waves in RIBA circles
)
There’s more to this Yorkshire home than meets the eye - literally.
Sort Trae is a two-bedroom home and studio and a Passivhaus. By working with, rather than against, the landscape of the plot, this home manages to be sensitive to the surrounding area while still enjoying panoramic views of the rolling South Yorkshire countryside.
Norrsken’s triple-glazed aluminium clad timber windows and doors provide Sort Trae with glazing that matches the outstanding thermal performance of the building’s fabric.
Our team was aware that this was to be a Passive House from the outset, so we supplied our P31A window profile for its excellent thermal performance and slim sightline.
With S315A sliding doors on the ground floor providing near uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, light floods the home. The project also used our S309A framed entrance doors and P33A inward-opening windows.
We love the way timber window frames pick up wood accents throughout the house - in the stairs, furniture, and even the weaving studio.
