Every home starts with a conversation

There is no single right way to build a high-performing home. Passive solar design, Passiv Haus principles and construction techniques like reverse brick veneer each solve different problems. The best outcome comes from understanding which combination suits your project.

We start by listening. Your site, your ideas and your priorities shape the design philosophy we develop together. That philosophy then informs every decision, from orientation and glazing to wall systems and ventilation.

Design and build

Start from scratch with a home designed around your lifestyle and your site. We work with you from the very first sketch through to handover, managing the design process and construction as one.

This is where our knowledge has the most impact. Decisions made early in design, orientation, window placement, wall systems, have the biggest effect on how your home performs for decades to come.

How it works
Norde Homes design consultation

Build only

Already have plans from an architect or designer? We can review them for thermal performance and buildability, then manage construction with the same hands-on approach we bring to every project.

Even with existing plans, there are usually opportunities to improve energy performance without changing the design intent. We will walk you through what is possible.

02

Design philosophy

We assess your site conditions and develop a design approach that combines the right principles for your project.
