Self Build Eco-home: Askew Cavanna Architects

Back to Journal

"I think there is still this general misconception that sustainable houses are boring. That's very far from the truth."

In the latest in our Boardwalk Blueprints series we explore this sensitively designed self build home in North Somerset. Stefania and Chris from Bristol-based architectural practice Askew Cavanna, discuss the benefits that Passivhaus living can bring, such as greater comfort in all seasons and better air quality. This eco-home project expertly demonstrates what is possible when you run with the technologies.
