Discover how low energy and Passivhaus design can create comfortable, energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. A fabric-first approach focuses on high levels of insulation, airtightness, efficient glazing and carefully considered ventilation to reduce energy use while maintaining excellent indoor comfort.

At Thread Architects, we consider factors such as site orientation, solar gain, overheating and building performance from the earliest stages of design. Passivhaus design provides a rigorous framework for achieving measurable energy efficiency, thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
