Passive House Design

Our practice concentrates on good design that is innovative, imaginative, and pushes the boundaries for residential and commercial projects.  Recently we have been focusing on how New Zealand homes can be better insulated and energy efficient, while maintaining a high quality design.

The team at Jessop Architects now has a wealth of knowledge on the issues and importance surrounding Passive Design homes, including how to work best with councils and obtain the proper approvals from the globally-recognised institutes.

It has taken a close working relationship with one of our clients to be the first New Zealand certified Passive House. 

With some of the world’s leading technology in Passive Design right at our fingertips, we believe that our practice now has the ability to compete on an international level in this area.

We are currently working with residential projects, ski clubs and talking with key consultants within government, to roll out other energy efficient buildings in New Zealand.
