Located in Sussex, this impressive self-build project was designed as a spacious, modern, open-plan timber-frame home with a strong focus on performance and energy efficiency. Homeowners Adele and Mike chose MBC’s Passive Timber Frame Kit for the main structure, combined with the MBC Passive Insulated Foundation and Slab system.

The home delivers exceptional thermal performance, with natural insulation, excellent airtightness, and full Passivhaus certification. The result is a living space that stays cosy in winter, cool in summer, and requires very little energy to run efficiently.

A renewable energy system, including an air-source heat pump and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system, delivers consistent comfort throughout the year while keeping environmental impact low.

Now a fully certified Passivhaus, Adele and Mike’s home in Sussex is not only energy-efficient, but also a modern, peaceful and designed for long-term sustainability and comfort.
