This single-family home combines the character and heritage of the past with the innovation and sustainability needs of the future. Originally built in 1912, the Craftsman bungalow was envisioned as a home that reflects the history of its location while being functionally and visually inspiring and highly energy efficient. It is the first certified Passive House Plus home in the lower mainland of BC, a standard which requires ultra-low energy consumption with up to 90 percent reduction and is a step further than the internationally recognized Passive House standard.
