Text description provided by the architects. This Net-Zero Passive House stands in a lush meadow at the edge of a forest, overlooking Nova Scotia’s Gaspereau Valley and the Minas Basin beyond. The home was designed for sustainability and beauty. The technical objectives were energy efficiency, indoor air quality and extreme comfort, and the use of durable, environmentally friendly materials. Aesthetically, the goal was to create a distinctive, modern home that felt warm, comfortable, and rooted in the land.
