Featured in the Homes section of The Times on Sunday, Duck End Barns in Cambridgeshire is officially certified as Passivhaus Premium, the highest level of energy performance within the Passivhaus standard, championed by the Passivhaus Trust.

The home was built using our award-winning Larsen Panel, manufactured offsite at our Redditch facility, incorporating SMARTPLY AIRTIGHT panels from MEDITE SMARTPLY. The result is a home with a heating demand of just 14 kWh/m²/yr that generates far more renewable energy than it uses.

We’re thrilled to be part of this achievement and to see the recognition it’s receiving. Thank you, to Archangel Architects, and everyone involved in making this UK first possible.
