• So I'm building a couple of modest 3 beds with my Dad, I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the layouts? (I'm currently modelling things in SketchUp to see what the space actually feels like.)

  • Look nice. What's driving PassivHaus? Planning requirement? Historically it's been an expensive standard to build to but that may be changing.

    Are the solar panels for hot water? If not, you might be better doing the roof in integrated PV instead.

    Disclosure: I am not an architect.

  • A couple of thoughts - If you're looking at selling to families, you'd be better off trying to fit a bath into the middle floor as a family bathroom, with a shower over or something like that.

    The thing between beds 2 & 3 - is that a heat recovery thing...will it be noisy there?

    Looks good otherwise. (IANAA)

  • A bit over my head but totes jelly of the project.
    I'd chuck in a balcony, everyone loves balconies.
    I'd also be tempted to raise the lounge/lower the other areas to give a slight feel of separation without creating physical boundaries (walls).

    Oh... you could also align the front windows and make them one massive near building height window. Thats prob a budget blower though.
