New Passive House in ThE foothills

Mass Timber Passive House

This home is the outcome of a collaboration between HSS Design Build, our friends at Stitch Consulting and Design , and our wonderful clients.

The design is a true reflection of the owners' vision—a dream home they set out to make sustainable from the very beginning. Every detail was carefully considered to align with their values of energy efficiency, low environmental impact, healthy living and timeless design.

Constructed using mass timber, the home not only provides a warm, natural aesthetic but also serves as a carbon sink—sequestering carbon through the use of a renewable wood structure and supporting long-term climate goals. The building envelope is further enhanced with wood fiber insulation, a high-performance, sustainable material that contributes to excellent thermal performance while maintaining breathability and indoor air quality.

Simple lines and clean forms define the Scandinavian inspired architecture—an intentional design choice that supports energy efficiency by reducing thermal bridging, simplifying construction, and maximizing the effectiveness of the building envelope.

Designed to meet Passive House Classic standards, the home offers outstanding performance—drastically reducing energy consumption and shrinking its environmental footprint.
