Energy-efficiency is our main emphasis and our Swedish passive house building methods and traditions play a large role in our construction. High levels of insulation and an air tightness in our building envelope in conjunction with our passive heat recovery ventilation system and triple glazed low emission argon filled windows are important factors in Passive house design.

Durability and lifespan extremely important for us. Timber frame houses should last several hundreds of years.

Since 2006 most houses are built to Passive house standard. The house factory is situated in Lysekil, a small town on the Swedish west-coast. Scandinavian Homes modular wall-sections are manufactured here, in a dry and clean environment. The system allows an up to 200m² timber frame passive house to be shipped on one single trailer.
