New Leeds developer goes passive

A new property development company in the north-west is putting the passive house standard at the heart of its business. Leeds-based Pure Haus is currently embarking on its very first project, a scheme of two high-specification houses in Oakenshaw, Bradford that will be built to the passive house standard, and is designed by architects ArkleBoyce.

The two detached five-bedroom homes at Pure Meadows will be of timber frame construction, will be designed to “sensitively fit in with nature” and will feature a “high quality palette of contextual materials” including timber and stone cladding. The dwellings will also feature heat recovery ventilation and rainwater harvesting systems, while the site will boast natural, biodiversity-friendly landscaping.
