The Scott Passive House was designed by an architecture firm focused on energy efficient design and fabricated by an off-site construction firm that manufactures, delivers and assembles high-performance buildings.

Homeowner Elizabeth Scott customized a version of the existing line of prefabricated Passive House designs, which provided the confidence of a proven building system with a design that met her own specifications and needs.

The project is a continuation of a familial legacy in sustainable living for Scott, who grew up in a “post and beam passive solar house” that her parents built in 1979.
To expand design options and increase living space, the team added a Passive Roof assembly to Elizabeth’s home. The roof employs the same high-performance materials as the Passive Walls and reclaims living space typically dedicated to the attic. Elizabeth’s customized Passive House is one and a half stories and features four bathrooms and three bedrooms.
