More details ℹ️

The Lower Saddle Passive Home -

Joseph Lyth is opening his own home to the public for two days next weekend. 

The Lower Saddle Passive House project is situated in Tahekeroa, Makarau. 

The project was designed by and for architect Joe Lyth of Respond Architecture. After years of designing beyond code, Joe put his skills to work in making his own beautiful and comfortable energy-efficient home.

The aim of the project was to produce a high-performing building at a similar cost to standard New Zealand housing, to show that housing can be produced at high quality while keeping to budget and being a home that will be incredibly comfortable and low-cost to live in.

To do this the focus lies on producing a compact design with a well-insulated, airtight envelope, to provide a healthy interior environment with minimal heating costs.
