This exceptional high-performance home in Salford marks a significant milestone as the first property in the North West of England to be built to the prestigious Passivhaus Plus standard. Designed with a crisp, modern aesthetic, the house showcases clean lines, contemporary detailing, and high-quality finishes throughout. Its layout is thoughtfully orientated around a bright, south-facing courtyard, allowing the main living areas to flow naturally into this sunlit outdoor space and strengthening the connection between home and landscape.
The homeowners selected MBC for our proven expertise, particularly as the project required full Passivhaus certification. MBC’s Passive system, certified numerous times combined with their ability to provide the Passive Insulated Foundation offered a seamless, highly efficient solution.
Constructed using a precision-engineered, prefabricated timber frame and insulated with recycled newspaper, the home sits on an advanced insulated raft foundation. Triple-glazed windows, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and exceptional levels of airtightness and insulation embody the very principles of Passivhaus design. The result is a future ready, sustainable home that delivers year-round comfort, outstanding energy performance, and a healthy indoor environment built to last.
