A friend of mine built one in the Czech Republic...although his has HEPA air filtration too. It's really impressive.
Tbh, just reminds me of old style housing in the Middle East and Central/Eastern Europe (and other places of course). Thick as fuck walls and sensible sun shading.

They can take some getting used to and struggle with mould if not operated correctly but show the levels of insulation we should be aiming for, shocking the we still build new houses that we know will need to retrofitted to achieve net zero, guess it's good for profits though

Yes, we had just bought a house and went around one that came on the market. It is one of the only places that we saw/have seen since that we would have seriously considered.

I really like the concept, though I’m not sure the cost of upgrading a house to passive or near spec is worth it financially as opposed to energy costs.
A friend is currently rebuilding a house to almost passive spec, though there are a couple of design choices and ease of living choices that means the house can’t be officially classified as passive.

Has anyone been in a 'Passive House'? They are so efficient that they don't have conventional heating. Body heat and sunshine are enough https://passipedia.org/basics/what_is_a_passive_house
