Our studio, Black Barn Studios is the cover star of the current edition of Passive House magazine. The magazine have written an in-depth article about our approach to creating a highly sustainable, energy efficient design exemplar. That attention to detail were key in creating a building that meets the LETI 2030 and RIBA 2025 targets for embodied carbon by addressing the three of the main challenges facing architecture; in use energy, embodied energy and bio-diversity. The detail extends to the surrounding landscape where biodiversity restoration is an ongoing process, including planting over 700 trees, new areas of wildflower meadow and native scrub.
