Cork County Council have decided to grant planning permission for a new passive house near the city in Cork’s A1 green belt. The design is a reinterpretation of traditional farm buildings to create a modern passive house. The house has been located to maximise orientation with ample daylight and sunlight from the south. It has been sited to take full advantage of the existing mature gardens and trees. See sketch image below. For more information on Passive House (Passivhaus) design please click here.
