Crafting Sustainable Homes
At the heart of our innovative new-build home designs is an unwavering commitment to sustainability. We prioritise eco-friendly practices, aiming to significantly reduce energy consumption and minimise the carbon footprint of our homes.
Integrating features such as ground source heat pumps, MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) systems, rainwater harvesting, solar panel energy generation, battery storage, sustainable drainage systems, and superior insulation and air-tightness, our designs embrace a holistic approach to environmental consciousness.
Understanding that each client has unique sustainability preferences and budget considerations, our flexible approach allows us to tailor designs accordingly. By offering the option to adhere to specific standards like PassivHaus or achieving zero-carbon neutrality, we ensure that every home we create reflects both the individual values of our clients and our collective commitment to a greener future.
Choose a home that goes beyond conventional standards – opt for an eco-friendly design that embodies sustainability and embrace the principles of a PassivHaus-certified or zero-carbon-neutral future.

The Cost Benefits of Eco / Passivhaus Living
When you’re designing a home for your family, it’s important to think about what you need out of your space. But, it’s just as important to think about the other fundamental elements you’ll need to create a comfortable and healthy family home.
At BCAE Architects, when we talk about designing sustainable homes, we’re talking about buildings which are cost effective, comfortable and healthy to live in. And we’ve found the best way we can achieve this is by adopting a fabric first approach to the building’s construction using the Passivehaus methodology.
We understand that each client comes to us with a distinct set of preferences and budget considerations. Our approach to sustainability in architecture is deeply rooted in tailoring designs to align with these individual needs.

"Arron has been an fantastic support since we embarked upon our renovation. He was on hand to answer all our questions and made the design process really enjoyable. We were looking for an architect who would make suggestions and challenge us and Arron certainly did that. Our final design is incredible and we are so excited to see it come to life. We couldn't recommend BCAE more."
