Passivhaus & Contemporary Design: Healthy, Natural, Beautiful
RIBA CPD Topic-Sustainable Architecture
Join experienced architect and certified Passivhaus Designer, Mhairi Grant, for an inspiring introduction to the Passivhaus standard and its relevance in today’s built environment.
This session will explore how ultra-low-energy design aligns seamlessly with contemporary architecture, celebrating natural materials, clean indoor air, and long-term occupant well-being. Discover why Passivhaus is not a restrictive formula but a powerful framework for creating elegant, modern, and sustainably crafted buildings that feel as good as they look.
