Coolhouse modular plans remove the need to begin the architectural design process from scratch thus saving time and money. The plans have been designed so they can be affixed together or stacked to achieve the desired size home and number of rooms to suit your brief and site. This is underpinned with the assurance of working with an experienced team of award winning Architects.

At a client's request COOLHOUSE is specified and built passive. Depending on the project it may have a premium in excess of 20% determined by the increased insulation, HRV systems and airtightness. Passive is a performance based technology not a Building Code requirement. The ongoing energy costs of a passive house are significantly lower.

Low energy homes take the principles of Passive homes with increased insulation, air tightness, to create a home that is warmer, drier and with less dust. Coolhouses use increased insulation, higher standard specification joinery but to complete a Passive house requires sign off from the Passive House association.

OSB can include elements of the build such as panellisation, through to prefabrication of the entire house off site. OSB is possible for Coolhouse designs however this is assessed early in the consultation process taking into consideration design modifications, site access, location and timing. While this may seem ideal often the reality is somewhat more complex and sites and designs are better suited to an onsite build.
