A two storey extension to an inner city victorian terrace on a spatially constrained site with poor orientation. The extension incorporates European standard passive-house principles and technologies including air tightness, thermally broken timber double glazed windows, high levels of insulation, minimal thermal bridging and heat recovery ventilation.
Remaining of the old part of the terrace house are two bedrooms and a hallway at the end of which is a new tight sealed 'middle door' that opens into the hermetically sealed new addition.
