H4 Process Consists of Two Phases
DISCOVERY & DESIGN + BUILD
Step 1
Concept Design
We help you create a better home.
Our affordable initial Concept Design Package is the first Step to explore possibilities based on your vision, and provide you options of what is possible within your current budget.
Often, people are hesitant to consider a sustainable, low-energy, healthy High Performance Home, because they fear it will cost more or that it may not look attractive enough. This could not be further from the truth, we believe that are more affordable than conventionally built homes over the long term.
High Performance Homes (PassivHaus) are extraordinary comfortable, super energy efficient, healthier with controlled humidity and pollen /dust free fresh air, quieter and you are helping our planet with less emissions.
In our focus to provide you a better home ,we present you with three options to consider, so you can make an informed decision.
- Built to Standard building code
- Built to High Performance Standards
- Built to Certified PassivHaus Standard
Regardless of each option you choose, we utilize the Passive House design approach, that relies on advanced building science, and we test how the house will perform before its built, reassuring you what is being designed will perform exactly as planned. No other building standard in the world does this “Proven -Tested – Measured in over 80 000” projects worldwide. Welcome to H4 Living, we hope we can assist to bring your vision to life.
